The candle burns softly
Dim light dancing off the walls
Each flicker like a flash in a pan
The soft luminescence casting shadows out
Their faces shrouded behind veils of darkness
Yet the candle continues to burn
Silently burning hot wax drips down the sides
Creating a completely new and unique shape
Each drip a reminder of time spent
Memories made and words said
The secrecy of night taking over their minds
Letting imaginations run wild
As the candle burns down further
They move closer together
Each flicker in the darkness bringing them closer
The chemical combustion required for light dissipates
Just as their lips touch
