Snowflake

My pattern is completely unique to any other.

I fall and dissolve atop your tongue.

You were wrong about me. I am a snowflake,

And you were not wise just because I was young.

If you were an element, you would be air -

The emptiness I descended through.

You were wrong about me. I am a snowflake,

And I'm proud to say I was nothing like you. 

You can see the fog from my breath on the windows

As my lungs convert you into warm air.

You were cold, even a snowflake would say,

But - unlike me - you seemed to not care.

You were inside me like oxygen in H2O.

You came and went like a winter snow.

I was right about me. I am a snowflake.

I breathed you in, and now I let you go.
