    In the flicker of the candlelight

    In the flicker of the candlelight
    I see your face staring at me
    Your lovely smile...
    Casting meaningful glances.

    In the candlelight
    I see memories dancing around me...
    the good ones, painful ones
    Memories of how we used to be.

    In the candlelight
    My eyes burned with tears
    As reality slowly creeps in
    Darkness embracing me
    Cold and alone...
    With nothing but old memories
    Nothing but a candlelight
    to accompany me.

    Then the wind blew...
    Nothing but darkness surrounds me
    Nothing and no one
    But only me...

    Yet, I see your face
    And I hear your voice
    Telling me you love me...
    That you"ll come back for me
    You give me strength and hope

    And so...
    Even in darkness, I will wait
    For you to light a match
    And bring back the light to me
    Bring back your love to me
    In the flicker of the candlelight.

    Nice switching of tracks in the middle of the poem, when the candlelight snuffs out, giving way to darkness
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    2nd part.. reply to the above verse.

    In the flicker of the candlelight
    You’ll see my shadow standing beside you…
    In the midst of the darkness
    I’ll be holding the light
    that will rekindle the fire where darkness surrounds you…

    In the candlelight
    Where I see your emptiness… so alone, cold and dreary
    I’ll let my warmth embrace you,
    Holding you close, casting your pain away…

    When there’s nothing but darkness surrounds you
    And you feel consumed by the light
    You’ll see my face in the dimness of the night, smiling right at you...
    While I’ll whisper into your heart “I still love you so”…

    Let me in once again, let me hold you tight
    Give me another chance to be your strength & your light… your candlelight.

    In darkness where you await,
    I’ll be coming for you...
    Holding the flicker of the candlelight
    To bring you back where you once belong
    To the light… To my heart….
    To our love….
    In the flicker of the candlelight.
