How did we get so icy?
When did we settle for chilly discontent,
Frigid mistrust,
Cold, impersonal communication
(Or the lack thereof?)
🌨
We both felt the freeze,
Yet we were
Unable to move
Our frosty limbs.
❄️
Finally, you came to me.
You cared enough
To break the ice.
You embraced my cold shoulders,
Iniciating a spring thaw.
💧
You warmed me
With kind words,
Sunny smiles,
And gentle touches.
☀️
Ready for heat,
I was thrilled to reciprocate.
We we’re once again
Hot for each other -
Sultry, sweltering, feverish.
🔥
We had survived the winter,
Happily vowing
Warmth
Hereafter
❤️🔥
