Days … Days like these never were before in my life

Helen, like a fire in my mind and heart and body burns
and in the fire’s light I see my past for all it could’ve been.
She, more than anyone else I’ve known, is my kin
her eyes burn with all she sees, like mine
and she loves me like I’ve wanted to be loved
for a long long time.
