From a thousand miles away we came together-
Crashed into each other.
And in the deepest dark,
The friction between us created a spark.
It lit the sky over the ocean,
But only for a moment.
Because what we were burning
Was only a match; a notion.
We held it until our fingers burned,
Stared each other down with quiet independence
But once we bled out the memories,
We learned.
And you can't keep burning
When there is no fuel.
The sky goes dark again,
And hearts go cool.
But even when the light is gone,
Nose to nose we stand,
Still burning from the heat.
Drop our hands,
Claim defeat.
