Like Two Fires

Maybe it wasn’t love-just desperation
We needed each other so to feel alive
And how we used to live for that sensation
We felt as we were making love-each time
The pain of being apart was such a good one
With loving letters and desperate phonecalls at night
The feeling of nearly dying each time I had to leave
Left me with such a great sense of life
Like two fires growing big together
We burned, wanting to keep the other hot
What we needed was so much
Maybe we tried too hard
Cause finally we burned eachother up
I’ve nearly now succeded in forgetting you
But sometimes even now I miss the glow
I dreamt about you the other night and woke up
Feeling warm
But when I looked out of my window, there was snow
Like two fires growing big together
We burned, wanting to keep the other hot
What we needed was so much
Maybe we tried too hard
Cause finally we burned eachother up
