Hand in The Fire

Tonight I crouch by fireplace
And watch the flames with teary eyes
I hurt because I see your face
And long for your sincere embrace
I cannot bear this separate life

You asked me what I thought love is
I didn't have the guts to say
That love is more profound than bliss
And measured better by the kiss
Of pain I feel when you're away

I find your smile upon my lips
Your joyous warmth inside my heart
I need your loving fingertips
To ease the parts that won't forget
Your face whenever we're apart

I wonder if you feel the same
Or suffer quite as I do now
For you I'd leap into the flame
And never know a sweeter pain
For this is love as I know now
