Analysis of Refining Fire
Awake my beloved and come away with me.
Let me show you that life is still beautiful,
and you are still pure.
Love is a fire that cannot be quenched,
but doesn’t always burn us.
You and I are flames.
Let the fire engulf us and we will put the sun to shame.
In your eyes I see my world.
My hopes and dreams are entangled with yours.
Let us unravel the mystery together.
