Candles

The light is soft
under the candles;
the shadows on your face
add magic and charm
to this cozy place.

I have much to say
and much to ask.
It's been so long
we've been apart,
I thought our love
might never last.

Speaking for myself,
it never dimmed a bit,
like those candles
flickering on the table,
that are meant to burn
and recover when they're lit.
