it feels like you came with the cold
like suddenly you fell from the windy sky
and warmed me up inside.
i wanted you for your fiery red
before i found myself like an addict,
craving you at the strangest times
for your comfort
and your smell.
i love you without the sugar on top
even bitter and dry and burning my tongue
and coating my throat until i choke
with tears on my cheeks
but could never live without you.
not at all.
