The Snow falls
beautiful,
everywhere.

One cannot help but notice the snow,
one cannot help but remark on its beauty,
yet one cannot help but notice its biting chill.

You're remarkable and everywhere,
undeniably lovely,
undeniably everywhere.

Your beauty and your cold are overwhelming.
As much as I awe at someone so violently gentle,
I can't get too close.
Ventures in the snow leave me with a chill and dripping socks.

We're incompatible, you and I.
You with your blustery flurries and I with my weak immune system.
When with you, I 'd shield myself with coats and gloves,
I'd want to be near you, but still apart;
warming my hands as I protect my heart.

I want a love like a cup of tea,
warm,
comforting.

I want a love like a cup of tea,
warming me and banishing the memory of the cold of snow.

I want a love like a cup of tea,
flavorful
healthy.

I want a love like a cup of tea,
No one chooses tea for what it looks like, but rather for what its made of.

I want to love someone with the passion of chai,
the forgiveness of chamomile,
the strength of mint.

Soon you'll disappear in the sun,
too weak to stay.
