In my world, there are places I've been to

That left me breathless and wonderstruck in the most heartwarming way.

There are people that I've smiled and laughed with,

And people that I've briefly glanced at as I walk passed them,

With the lingering thought of a possibility, so real and rare, that I would see them again.

Perhaps,  I would in another world, in another universe not known to man.

So the very thing that keeps my flame bright and vibrant, as ever, is a secret,

Because the moment it's revealed, it escapes into the cold, dark void.

Unreachable and intangible.

Distant and dark.

But I never planned any of this.

I never expected my flame would turn into wildfire so quickly.

I tried to build the walls, the boundary I wouldn't dare cross but I realized it was impossible.

Impossible to stop myself from falling in love with him.

Hesitation was clear as glass, but it still didn't stop me from walking towards the future.

It didn't stop me even when my heart was set on fire as I told myself the unbroken promise:

He's my world, my home.
