Just like a campfire
Rekindling an old flame
Can be easy or
Not so much
Cold embers
Sometimes resist new sparks
And if they reignite
They may just end up
Burning you twice
Better to let old flames
Take their natural course
Maybe the embers
Linger for a lifetime
Maybe the ashes just
Blow away with the wind
It doesn’t really matter
Be thankful for the time
You blazed bright together
In the time that you had
