When The Spark

Don’t look at me and tell me the spark isn’t there anymore,

But also,

Don’t touch me. 

It might turn into a flame. 

Isn’t that what everyone wants, though?

For their heart to be on fire?

Nobody said it would be easy

And nobody said it would make sense,

But everyone has said 

When the spark could start a fire,

You can feel it in your soul.
