Slow Fire

You looked back once, just before the train  
No words said, but I felt the flame  
It wasn't fast, but it still burned  
A love like that... no one returns  
I still walk past that old café  
Hope to smell your hair in the breeze someday  
Your name still rolls off my tongue  
Like a song that’s just begun  
You're a slow fire, still burning low  
In the corners of my soul  
You didn’t leave loud, you left in light  
But I still feel you every night  
You’re a slow fire… that never let go  
You said "forever" in the back of that cab  
But forever came too fast, and I still want it back  
The rhythm we had, soft like wine  
Still plays in my head, every time  
I don’t need a storm to feel the rain  
Just a memory to call your name  
You’re not here, but you're not gone  
You still haunt me like a song  
You're a slow fire, still burning low  
In the corners of my soul  
You didn’t leave loud, you left in light  
But I still feel you every night  
You’re a slow fire… that never let go
