The glow burned my eyes but I couldn’t take my gaze from its mesmerizing emanation. It stood like a sentinel, guarding my emotion. Although it was a single flame, that lone candle represented the one person I wished was here with me.

AWESOME. That was so creative. Bravo. You know I love everything about love. I adore this write.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
A little paragraph but that last line packed a wallop. Great job.
Thank you! It is challenging sometimes to convey that in the 42 word limit we are given.
Bravo. You succeeded.
The last line had the desired the effect. Great job.
Thank you.
Sounds bittersweet. Nicely done.
Thank you.
Beautifully conveyed.
Thanks friend. 🙂
A tiny flame can be quite mesmerizing, but even more so when it holds such value. Lovely piece. You conveyed so much in the tiny space. 🙂
Thank you very much. 🙂
I could watch candles or flames forever; they really do capture the mind.
I am the same way.

Dare I say, this has caught me waxing nostalgic?
Love it!
I don’t know if you meant it, but the long words and short words contrasted and reminded me of the candle flicker.
A lone candle…also representing a lonely person…funny how one person can mean so much to us – and even more so when they’re not there.
Yes, that is very true.
