I'm good all by myself but you make me better.
The exuberant heat is intoxicating. Gradually and painfully building undesirable intensity. My crystal clear glass world filled with constant plain water stands ever so still waiting in anticipation to escape the suffocating heat. The thick glass membrane uttering fragility holds together the bored water as it loses its cool. In every tick of a second the heat takes over, smothering the world closed off by the curved walls. The terrified water is barely maintaining its temper trying to keep it together. Resisting the convincingly damaging heat knocking with complete confidence. But at some point the resistance will fail, but for now the feared fate is ignored tucked in the corner where it is less visible. As if avoiding it will make it disappear. Suddenly without a single warning there is a silent sharp pang as the heat decides to intensify and rises to show the vigorous stance. The glass and water team instantaneously realises the unforeseen urgency. And the battle begins. Both sides fight silently with all they have. The heat uses its suffocating and energetic qualities to lead the water into its deadly scorching den. Resisting and pushing back, the glass uses its barricading nature to defend the water. Saving it from being dragged off to the fatal path. But the water begins to struggle. The heat is becoming problematically unbearable. The glass shield is wearing off slowly putting its guard down with only enough strength to surrender. And so the heat is ever so close to victory. Then at the precise point where the water is at its weakest, at the perfect moment the knight in shining cold clarity suddenly arrives. Coming to the rescue. You save me. As you heroically glide into my doomed heated glass and I can feel the tingle of the contrasting contact of hot and cold. Fire and Ice. You make me better. Every ounce and drop of my water is being cooled by your icy hands that mold and transform the water. The heat in the background sighs in defeat as it stares at this incredible union. The eager ice melts into the welcoming water and they become one.
