Firefly

A special person in my life recently broadcast his feelings for me in a very public way. This is my response:

Firefly

With the innocence of a child in summer,
Let me capture your light in a jar
So you can twinkle just for me.

I will not smother you,
But will answer your mating call with
My own fire.

Let us release ourselves to fly
Together in the balm of summer
Glowing for each other with the stars.

I love you more than you will ever know; I don't think my feelings for you will be fading or get smothered any time soon.
