A candle doesn’t need to be lit

In order to be a candle

 

A candle doesn’t need to be of its original appearance either

So long as it can still be lit

 

Melted down into trails of dripping wax

Solid now and preserving a state of what once was

 

Warm or cold and in any shape or form, I will light you if you allow me

For You, my dear, are my candle
