Someone told me once
I remind them of winter
Beautiful
but cold
harsh
dark
Breathing me in
froze their lungs
My skin made their fingertips
ache
But you
you love winter
How gently the snow falls
like the flakes have nothing better to do
than drift down to kiss the earth
And the way the darkness can’t
grip the world,
not really,
because the clouds hang low and heavy
and drench us in a half-light
And everything is magic
I never thought about how soft cold could be How easily ice melts turns to water folds to whoever is warm enough to make it want to thaw You make me want to thaw
