Feed the Fire

December 12, 2006

Feed the Fire

A relationship cannot survive without fuel

Just as a fire cannot

It may burn hot and bright

But without additional fuel

The flames and warmth gradually fade

Still the embers may glow and shimmer

As a dream, remembered only briefly

Without fuel, even the embers will dim

Until warmth and light are no longer given

And the darkness and cold completely envelops you

When only one person feeds this fire

The embers may be sustained

But for the flames to ignite

For the flames to burn strong and bright

The other must also add their fuel

If you wonder why a relationship is fading

Look to the fuel being provided

Or if fuel is being put into the fire at all

Some fuel burns brighter than others

But I think that the fire burns its brightest

When both people take an active part

In preserving the sincerity of meaning

And do all they can to care for each other

If you really do care

Feed the fire
