To Only Want You

We were a premonition, 
your fire (my earth),    
a warming lullaby of laughter 
and destroying me, 

to only want you.  To only love you 
in this lonely world of nothing else.  

You were the intensity of extremes—
a paradox I was not accustomed to.        

Memory is a strange thing.  

I feel no anger or regrets.  
If anything, I accept.  I accept that 
you and I were meant to meet, to exist 
and walk this earth at the same time in history, 
to share a common purpose… 
can I just say—

I miss you.  

What do I want?  
I want to feel alive again, even if 
it means to burn.
