Sparkling Waters

The first time we met,
something enlightened my heart.
Your unforgettable smile
plunged the depths of my soul.

Yet, your touch, your lips,
were the sweetest bliss.
And all I ever wanted 
was to return your love,
and give myself to you.

But instead, I remained still and silent,
like a leaf trapped 
by the ice of a frozen lake—
sparkling waters 
underneath.
