to him:
you are so full of fire
full of warmth
full of love.
your smile never fails
to melt my heart
even just a little.
but, why are you still
staying by my side?
I have nothing to give.
I'm as cold as ice
heart of stone
my tears will only
extinguish the fire
within you.
why stay by my side
when you will only
douse the fire in you
if you do so?
you know that, dont you?
you know that by staying with me,
you are only killing
the thing that makes you you?
you are extinguishing the life, the warmth
you have in you.
don't you know that
ice melts
and water extinguishers fire?
dont you know that
I'm only harming you?
dont you know that
I'm no good for you?
leave.
leave me.
now that you have the chance, just leave.
leave before I hurt you
extinguish the fire within your soul.
after all,
we are fire and ice
like black and white
earth and sky
never together,
always apart.
~~~
to her:
the moment I saw you
with your sad eyes
I was hooked.
there was this aura around you
that drew me close to you
I dont know why.
I saw your letter.
I think I get how you feel.
you're only ice
because you see no hope, right?
you're only ice
because there is no warmth
in you life, right?
let me be the warmth
we both need.
let me melt the ice in your heart
so that it learns to beat again.
let me thaw the ice with love
so that you will never have to suffer alone.
dont worry about hurting me.
really. I'll be fine.
fire burns too, you know?
the heat can sometimes be painful
the heat can scald
the heat can sting.
as much as you need me
to thaw your frozen heart
I need you, too
to cool my burning heart.
I know this for a fact:
too much ice is painful
too much heat is also painful.
but together
we create warmth
warmth that we both need.
so, please.
dont push me away.
please let me stay.
because
as much as you need me
I need you too.
we need each other
to finally learn how to love.
