Feel That Fire

There are so many things I want in life, that I want in that special someone. I heard this song a while ago and it described the things I want most. But I think the biggest thing for me is to "feel that fire."

Over the past few weeks I have been struggling with this and wanting to feel something more. I connect on an intellectual level with this person, which is new for me. At the same time I feel there is something missing and I seek to gain a greater ken of what it is. There are glimpses here and there, and there are times I take a step back.

A person can have many redeeming qualities. But do those qualities overtake traits I see and lived with for 16 years? I work to find the veracity between those qualities and the red flags I see. What can I live with and what can I not?

I want to feel the fire. I want to know as sure as I know the sun will rise and set each day. I want to see, touch, and feel the heat from the flame. Otherwise I am a solitary match that will not last beyond the reach of its source.
