No Plagiarism!ZHoQJ3CT58gQHRILtTG0posted on PＥNAＮＡ

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyc8yYl0G0

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cThysKcNY

You standing there

I'm over here

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW8ISFuiuB

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGiyRDDxHH

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JIxcjpL6n

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNPc23fan6

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXaCnlB7qN

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18rZmbkKCO

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMZJSisO7J

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7HEETxbCK

All those years ago when both us were single

Why didn't the spark between us lit a flame

A sort of kindle

My heart should have known your name

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0gPOEBslV

What if we tell them goodbye 

I don't want to lie

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe9dKCMwAU

Not to myself and not to him, but it's you I want

In my slumber it's your name I chant

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNbJKPENQi

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxfHZY8Fh

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVsDbnTkGt

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenouyWBLiW

Of the memories of me and him, you and her,

We could never go there

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamm998wbZb

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dOJz76JKl

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbtbQq86A5

Just wanting to touch you once, feeling your lips on mine

Shaking the thoughts out of my head, it's a damn crime

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XwsSzyCsF

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1cnvEWRYN

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM0TUE3mbL

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur 

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jSA0FitwR

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmgNMHIYw9
