Gentle Fire

I love you more than life itself
You smile at me
and my world is complete
My love for you is much stronger
than the miles that separate us
You mean the world to me
and I want to show you that
But I've been hurt before
and the scars run deep
So I'm afraid
Afraid to love you and afraid to let you close
Because you set my soul of fire
and fire can burn if you get too close
Yet I know that without your fire
I"ll freeze to death
So, just keep burning brightly
and I'll slowly move closer
But try and understand
that if it gets too warm
I might need to pull away
And no matter what happens
know that I"ll always love you
For you are my gentle fire
