While Standing on a Frozen Pond

Standing on a frozen pond,
Not knowing if I will break through,
My thoughts and memories do not belong,
I want to fall because of you.

The ice is thin and is not steady,
My mind is willful but still unready,
The thoughts of you can never thaw,
So I will live with hope…ever more.
