To that girl...
Sorry to drop a sappy love poem here, but I guess sometimes it really just do be like that, huh? This is Version 2.1204214, revised with the suggestions kindly provided by u/Cognoscentus. The original version is in the body of the comments. Thanks!
In lonely autumn nights
Sequestered lights recede
I'm reaching out to you
In hopes that you find me
The ember in your heart
Enkindled most divinely
I'm calling out to you
In hopes that you remind me
Of something that I've lost
Of something bold and fiery
Of something I’ve forgotten
Of something still inside me
I need not fear the dark
If you so choose to guide me
I offer you my torch
In hopes that you ignite me
Arouse me now, anew
My kindling will burn true
My heart combusts for you
In hopes you love me too
