No Plagiarism!KiyI7mi2VoX9FFR2azP5posted on PＥNAＮＡ

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl42vyo4Mkt

Let's stop playing games

Watching as it goes up in flames

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlAfScwDIx

You standing there

I'm over here

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNW4R9kA5U

Our eyes connect

In yours I see a speck

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rdo7p59Tk

Of something so unknown

Something as heavy as stone

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoXdIhfUFQ

Our life filled with photo frames

And other people's names

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMFYR9p6XZ

Each of us has our own

But it's your heart that I want to know

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF9H6BPX3S

Her hand in yours

His hand around my waist

My heart is making a tour

Entering that dangerous space

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XhTGZ623G

Between right and wrong

The two of us known eachother for so long

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIflPFNWBte

Tell me how can this be

Why didn't your heart choose me

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hXoAcE5IP

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

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBq7EIZ1tZ

What if we tell them goodbye 

I don't want to lie

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee9pjTX8Kb

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

In my slumber it's your name I chant

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsNLOs492o

How did it get this far

My head and heart is in the middle of a war

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYtu5AF75e

Like a wildfire burning a path

Thinking about doing something that I shouldn't have

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZGiBivYRD

Do we burn the lives we built to ashes

Seeing the flashes

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgodqgZWoEj

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

We could never go there

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasU8qqdlw8

Breaking the eye contact

My heart just barely intact

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyCfUTnJWc

I don't want to go closer to you

Afraid of what we would do

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhojfgOEO02

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

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

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6y6eWK9tS

To be an arsonist and light our lives on fire

We simply need to push these feelings down and retire

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6l0UuouuE

I can't just sit and watch it burn

So I will return

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiwBrfPHSo

To holding him, while you kiss her

Watching this event occur 

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1PbQIt4RO

There will be no burning flames

As we stay with the people in our photo frames.

177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0eo5BvUF6
