I don't know how it started--
the warmth slowly sinking into my hands again
the shock from cold to warm
was the difference in the creases of your smile
I knew, that if it stayed too long
I could possibly freeze to death
I knew that if it stayed too long
Your smile would freeze and find it's way into my brain
and never leave
---
I don't know how it all ended--
I don't know where you left me,
why you left me
all I know
is that the warmth has made it's way into my hands again
your smile has melted from my brain
just as my hands are now unfrozen
my entire body
has
never
felt
so
whole.
