Love and fire.. often people compare the two.. a love like a wildfire; quick to spread.. some say it burns out just as quick as a match does.. others say it is eternal like a never ending candles flame..

Here you talk about it as though its a burden. Loving someone who does not want love (or at least yours). You talk about how your stuck in this dillema of "do i tell them or not".
It is always hard to bare ourselves and our heart after so much pain and suffering previously; however if we love someone, we feel the urge to let them know.. like if we dont tell them, we will combust

Excellent piece S. Great imagery and sorry your in such a tough position..
