damnatio ad bestias

(thank you for the beautiful years, it does taste sweet --- with a little tangy kick at the end.)

you used to be the warmer one.
in a cold and windy night I would snuggle deeper into your embrace
just to feel the heat from your body
radiating softly from the inside.

I used to be the colder one,
in a hot and sunny day you would hold on to me
maybe it made you feel better, I never know
but you made sure you will not let me go.

but now I am stranded in the land of sun,
it is hard to stand your heat when it is already warm
but I try to hold your hand tightly
hoping you will do the same for me

sadly I forgot that you no longer need the cold to survive
in the land of ice and snow
I guess you could warm yourself up
and keep the heat all for yourself now.

so long, sunshine.
It is a mistake to adore you, but it's still a beautiful one.
