Inner Fire

Behind closed doors,
I can't look into your eyes
without wanting what I can't have.
I prefer to see the truth,
but it's not the same thing.
Witnessing flashbacks,
traces of the people
we used to be.
In every way,
we know we're not the same.
A powerful change
which involves two lovers
and all began when we both
had no inner fire.
It doesn't seem to fit,
but you...only you
understands what I mean
when I say "we've changed."
We aren't who we were in the beginning,
but we're better people now.
Growing together.
Building a better life.
Learning to love the right way.
I can love myself again
if you are patient enough
to show me how.
