My alchemy

"(…) Let your fire be gentle, and easy, which being always equal, may continue burning: and let it not increase, for if it does, you shall suffer great loss" - R. Bacon

For I should not let my passion overwhelm me,
or I'll lose you for ever;
I must keep it cool,
it is now too soon.

If I give you time,
I may have a chance...

If my love increases,
and I let it burn everything,
then I will suffer,
I'll be left with nothing.
