Something soothes and burns me

Something soothes and burns me a dichotomy inside of me when I am with you, I almost wonder if you see if you perceive the unimaginable passion the unspoken pact the third scene of my act a play that's written for you and there's nothing else that I can do nothing else will do for you the silent oath I've sworn and the days when I grow worn yet, for all those worries concerns unneeded and logic heeded for all that, my heart still flutters when you pass by I love you and I don't know why I say hello, and quietly sigh I smile out, and inward cry each morning I live, each night I die, but when you are near, it seems simple, pure clear and all I desire dear, is a hint of fire all I require is you being near and happy your smile lifts my woes, my pain if but a moment, I feel I've gained some respite some insight to my zen I look again, and it is gone but love and you and I live on.
