Beneath a layer of crystal water I see your face
I delicately chip away at the sheet of ice that separates
Trying to feel my way to you
Our friendship is perfect: pure, sweet
And I wouldn’t ruin that for the world
But in my dreams I hold you close
And the barrier between us has melted away
Together we create indescribable beauty
And could face any horde of darkness
With naught but one another, hand in hand
Yet I hesitate to convey my hope
That we could become something more
For one false move and the ice may crack
Showering us both in sharp stabbing shards
So for the moment, I wait
Silently watching you for any sign of warmth
That might save me from my prison of ice
