Melting

I held an ice cube in my hand,

it was cold and wet

shimmering in the summer sun,

it felt good in my palm

 

Slowly it began to melt,

dripping, becoming smaller

A puddle formed then began

to seep through my fingers

 

I gazed upon my friend

as it slowly disappeared,

not understanding why

I wasn't sad because of this

 

Then you appeared before me,

radiant beauty blocking the sun,

your smile that of a perfect day,

and I understood

 

You held my heart in your hand,

slowly it began to melt

Did your heart melt because she loved you dearly and you her... or did it melt from dying from breaking?

It was a mutual feeling of love. When someone loves you and you love them, it can really melt the heart and hopefully melt the two hearts together as one. I am melting to your nice comments today.
