The Flaming Heart

The day I knew someone like you

A flame started to ignite deep inside this heart of mine.

When I look into your eyes,

Your soul shows who you really are.

I never did realize that

I started to burn like a fire

Just by looking in your eyes.

Irresistible,

Hard to extinguish

The fire that keeps on burning

In this heart that keeps on saying,

“You’re special to me, and I love you

More than this.”

“Oh, how I wish

It would never die,

My fire. My fantasy.”

I wish it would keep on burning

Because I loved the feeling.

But oh, you’re so close yet so far

So many hands clapping upon

But I hope you would notice

This girl over the crowd

Who wants to meet you

Shake hands and hug you.

Just before this flame dies out,

I want you to know…

“Under the lights tonight, you turn around

And you stole my heart.”
