You lit the spark of love one day
Within my heart
And tended it until you saw
The love-flame start.
And when you saw that all around
It brightly burned,
You turned, and wandered down the road
All unconcerned.
The years have passed. 'Mid charred remains
New walls I form.
Yet, even now, I stir and find
The embers warm.
