Old Flame Flickers

Seeking the world from an old flame Nothing craves one more than lost love Searching for that special something To keep the memories alive Does he feel it, does she know it Is it truly there to be found Love is a rare find nowadays The pressure to get one is real One wants to have someone with them Through the horror that life does bring And through both gorgeous days as well Where life shines down on both of them Finding love is never easy Especially when it’s on top One from the past is never gone When thoughts of their love hold firmly Russell Sivey
