She was like snow.
Beautiful at first glance, but
Cold and pitiful to the touch.
However, the longer you hold
Snow, the more it begins to change.
It melts in your palms.
And he knew that.
He knew that if he held onto her,
Her walls would come down, and
Her merciless facade would
Eventually fade into nothing.
So, he waited.
And sure enough, she melted.
She melted because of him.
