🌙 The Fire That Grows Slowly

Desire doesn’t always arrive in sparks —

sometimes it lingers, warm and steady,

like a fire that never forgets how to burn.

There are nights when passion hums quietly,

woven into the comfort of familiarity,

the weight of a gaze that still feels new.

The fire between us has changed —

less wild, more knowing.

It doesn’t need to prove itself anymore;

it simply exists, steady and sure,

burning deeper instead of brighter.

There’s something sacred about that —

a love that chooses warmth over blaze,

devotion over display.

The kind that says, I still want you,

not because of who you were,

but because of who we’ve become together.

🕯 Some fires don’t fade with time —

they learn how to burn slower, longer, truer.
