✦ THANK YOU FOR THE FIRE ✦

V5.5

Hey… I hear you three hundred days of borrowed light you gave me a spark deep in the night I felt something I won’t rename you lit a fire that kept my name not every moment asks to stay some only come to change the way a heart remembers how to feel what hurt was also real I won’t make it hard for you I won’t turn this into weight what we were doesn’t need a gate I understand I let you go not as an end just as a flow what we had was real for me I carry it without a plea no blame to hold no debt to pay just quiet thanks for every day you gave me warmth I didn’t know you gave me words that learned to grow you gave me nights that still return where silence speaks and shadows burn and yes the words come late for me too they rise at night and pass me through I let them breathe I let them stay this is how I grieve the way they don’t need to see the light not everything is meant to write some truths are kept to make us free not lost just held in me I understand I let you be no need for more no need for me you don’t owe a single word I heard enough in what we were I won’t hold you where you won’t stay I won’t ask to change your way I won’t go searching after this I’ve touched the edge of what love is whatever comes won’t feel the same and I’m at peace with what we became I thank the chance I thank the flame for every breath that spoke your name I let you go and keep the light I won’t turn day into a fight no doors to close no lines to draw just what we lived without a war after midnight in the quiet I let the words arrive and fly not to return not to erase just to give this love its place
