In the beginning, a spark ignites,

A rush of warmth, a flood of light,

Eyes lock across a crowded room,

In your gaze, I feel my heart bloom.

Each glance, a silent vow to keep,

With each touch, a secret whispered deep,

Hope unfurls like petals in spring,

In this moment, I find my wings.

We dance beneath a twilight sky,

Stars reflected in your eyes,

A symphony of joy takes flight,

In your arms, the world feels right.

But as the days give way to nights,

Shadows stretch beneath the lights,

Doubts creep in like winter’s chill,

The spark we shared grows quiet, still.

The warmth turns brittle, cold as stone,

Our dreams, once bright, now overthrown,

The love we knew, a fleeting trance,

A bittersweet, unfinished dance.

I reach for you, but grasp the air,

The magic is gone, replaced with despair,

An empty ache, a silent plea,

A reminder of what we used to be.

In the end, I stand alone,

The truth of limerence now known,

A high that burned, then left me scarred,

A truth that left my spirit charred.

A story told, a chapter closed,

The echoes of a love exposed,

I walk away, my heart now wise,

Knowing love’s not always paradise.
