The fire burning bright

up into the night

Reminds of the flame

young love has remained

throughout the years

though the tears and fears

the joy and sorrow

The flame has remained bright

throughout the dark and lonely nights

for the young flicker of high school

of a red-haired boy

for a blue-eyed girl

when he touched her

once

does he dream

of her evermore?

As the fire burns low

into the darkness of the night

Does her desire

grow forever

higher with dreams

of leaving to start anew?
