match<br />But as I look in, I behold<br />A gaze I cannot catch.<br /><br />But I observe and remember<br />A forgotten time untold<br />When fueled by love's lone ember<br />Your being i would hold.<br /><br />Now you turn and walk away<br />Giving your hair a toss<br />How I wish you would please stay<br />My fear replaced with
