Somewhere, there is a Heart that gently holds a perfect flame for you. Perhaps, as yet, still undiscovered; but, it truly, is out there. This is no soft, and foolish dream; believe in this, it is quite true; for each and every one of us, a flame soft glows, some place, somewhere. A flame that always will be there, though, its soft light you may not know. just yet; a hope to light the darkest hours, un-fading, ever true. A flame that will not question, nor demand that you reflect its glow... Somewhere, there is a Heart that gently holds a perfect flame, for you. Somewhere, there is a Heart that gently holds a perfect flame for you. A flame that will not criticise, nor judge you, in a fit of pique. A flame that will not turn away, no matter what you say, or do; nor flickeringly, abandon you, if its soft glow, you may not seek. It gently dreams, a sweet, and tiny dream of what, perhaps, could be, if, by chance, you touched the flame, and saw the love come shining through. A love to stand the test of time, love given, unconditionally... Somewhere, there is a Heart that gently holds a perfect flame, for you. Somewhere, there is a Heart that gently holds a perfect flame for you. It will not try to change you into something you don't want to be, and only wants to hold you safe; for it burns clear, and it burns true; it keeps the Faith, and waits, perhaps, for years... in hope that you might see and recognise a sign, a clue, that it cannot reveal, for fear that you might turn your face away, if you suspected, if you knew. For then, the heart might lose the will to hope; the flame might disappear... Somewhere, there is a Heart that gently holds a perfect flame, for you. |
