The elements of love.

Like the underwater shifts on earth, you slowly push me, i fold, i bend. One day when your emotion is so cold i snap. If you want me you need to keep me warm and we will not drift apart. There are times when like a volcano, the fire and passion erupted between us. Hot lava flowed through our hearts. We pushed and pulled together, built eachother up into high mountains. Over time like the sun and water we battered and broke eachother down to the ground. Dirt, sand and now dust can only be found-the elements of Love.
