The weather wasn't to blame this time around. Any coldness I felt was a result of her icy presence, or perhaps I should say lack of it. If she was around, she was like ice - cold to the touch, and even more daunting to look at. And if she wasn't around? The images of us could float around in my mind, the icy water they drifted in a reminder of the closeness we had one shared. Memories of how we used to be could drain the warmth right out of me, as if I was back in December again; before I found her, when the temperature outside was in full effect.

Around me, the earth was finally warming up again. The plants were starting emerge from their season's long sleep, and the air was getting progressively warmer again. Snow was melting, and soon, it would be gone.

Yet somehow, the frigid temperature of my saddened soul seemed to keep the yellow rays from warming up my cold body.
