You are poison and perfume.
You are the fresh morning dew
of the weeds,
I wish I have pulled
a long time ago.

Now it has become a beanstalk
and we're both at its peak.
How can I cut it?
I do not wish to fall with you.

How do you keep the fire burning?
How did you manage to break the ice?

You're a burning flame
and you're melting me

so I wonder
if I become a puddle,
will you jump?
or make paper boats?
