A Steady Burn
Posted on February 4, 2012
It seems so simple, but this quote explains so much to me.
Love is friendship set on fire.
It explains a lot about my relationship with The Attorney.
Even though I am in my mid 30′s, it is the first really serious relationship I have ever had.
The most serious and, somehow, also the most relaxed.
I have an ease with him that I’ve never had with anyone.
Except my closest friends.
And somewhere over the course of the last five years, he’s become the closest of all.
And the most exciting.
That’s the fire.
Not the gasoline-drenched kind that accelerates and burns up quickly.
More like the spark that ignites, then smolders and smolders.
A steady burn.
The kind that’s almost impossible to put out.

That’s beautiful! The way it should be…
This is beautiful, Tony!
Way cool Tony, nice way to describe it.
We/you can only hope–and keep adding kindling.
I know that fire: banked embers that linger until dawn, not the white-hot flash fire of lithium. It’s beautiful.
