A snowflake said to a flame,

“Hello. Who are you? What’s your name?”

The flame, pretending not to hear,

Said to the snowflake, I need to come near.

Said the flake to the flame, “You shouldn’t.”

Said the flame to the flake, “Who wouldn’t?”

You’re unique, special, and one of a kind.

I’ve admired your beauty for quite some time.

The snowflake, flattered and intrigued,

Said to the flame, “Yes, sit next to me.”

As they sat there together, one could already see,

A dramatic change in the snowflake’s beauty.

Her dazzling white fell to the ground,

In deep pools of water, without a sound.

To stay with the flame would be her demise,

But the flame said he loved her, and she wasn’t so wise.

The flame wasn’t innocent, he knew how she felt.

Yet, he sat right there and watched her melt.
