Safe Haven

I mistook the warmth of your hands,
           As if they were the warmth of your heart.
   Reached out,
                  So inviting,
                             Waiting for my touch,
                                        A wonderful embrace.

I mistook the warmth of your body,
           As if it was the warmth of your heart.
   Beckoning me, 
           To place mine,
                        Oh so nicely,
                    Against it.

I mistook the warmth of your skin,
        Even if I could feel the chilling pulse.
    So soft,
         So comforting.
                Your scent signatured my body,
         Leaving evidence that you were indeed there.

I mistook your warmth,
        Even though I knew your coldness.
  But sometimes,
       Sweet nothingness is all some one has.

I mistook your coldness,
    As a save haven from attachment,
As an escape from feeling I tried to evade.

        It all fell through,
            Because I fell for you.
