Below the Surface


Always on the backburner
…simmering
never quite hot or cold.

I dream of torrid;
 settle for tepid…

Still awaiting 
      anticipating 
         
 your slow burn

  4. I think the slow burn is so much more amazing than the quick burst of something that ends before it starts.

  5. I dream of torrid as well but will wait for the slow burn ~ maybe it is meant to last longer ~
