There they stood by the fireside,
Two lights sparkled in each of her eyes,
The flames intensified his glance,
Her lips parted to make an encouraging smile,
Talk of roasted marshmellows,
Dreams of what the future holds in store,
Warm embers connected with majestic flame,
His clothes smelled of smoke,
She was entranced by the stars above,
A fire that brought light and warmth,
Now becomes a symbol of hope,
Fireflies in the near distance complete the moment,
Will this be the last firelit night they share?
