Later,

When chemistry kicks you in the sheen,

you did not fall to the ground,

You faced it with two arms and legs

to support you as you fought.

If you are faced with obstacles,

do not fear

for you have the comfort of freinds

and families.

You hide the love within you,

though it burnt within you,


Fighting to come out.

And when you find the one you love,

it erupts like a thousand year old

volcano
