The Flame Without the Candle

I have a strange feeling in my stomach I can't relate to what it is. Is it the pain that suddenly appears Because you can no longer be near? I fooled myself I thought I could handle The burning flame Without the candle. I was mistaken, Now I see. For the match that lit the flame, Was none other than thee. Trust my intuition? I no longer can. For it would surely get out of hand. Despite the pain I feel inside, I bow out gracefully, For I have lied. I said I understood, And it was okay. But as for my heart, I know- It will never be the same.
