You

You 
I used to know
My heart had you at number one
Together we grew
Happened to place lucky from the few
But luck vaporized out of grasp
And our fire had turned to ash 
Wind scattered our remains
Distant is how we became
But wait, sparks brought out a flame
Warmth, desire and heart 
Saved what had fallen apart
