You shine like the sun in summer and i fall as the snow in winter.
You melt hearts made of ice and i freeze bones to the marrow.
You tried to melt my frozen heart,
you tried so hard.
But then, i looked at you for the first time and the numbness that had been living in my chest went away and the warmth of your fingertips on my neck gnawed at my ribs made of ice and i was scared because god, you could easily destroy my entire being.
And then, I looked at you for the second time and i couldn't do anything except run away and bury myself in snow until it froze my blood and made me forget about you.
It takes more than warm fingertips and eyes filled with sunshine to melt a palace made out of ice.
You are summer, i am winter.
You are sunshine, i am a blizzard.
You make flowers bloom, i make them wither with just my presence.
You are life, i am death.
