We are fire and water.

When we don’t touch,

We are separate

And we are safe.

Water is still, fire burns steadily.

–

But if we touch

When we touch

It’s a boiling ocean,

A room full of steam,

Enough force to create millions

Of chemical reactions

Rewriting our very DNA.

Jets of steam rise

Pulling the still air upward,

And we rise with it

It’s an intoxicating moment

Flying high

Full of energy,

Movement, and life

–

But come crashing down with me darling

And remember

We cannot touch.

For the fire

Evaporates the water.

The fire consumes.

We must remain

Separate and safe

We must not touch.

Or we may not make it out alive.
