A fire appeared in front of me,
the heat overwhelmed me
as no one had the courage
to approach a salt sea,
where someone cried..

From one touch I burned myself
and I was afraid to be cold again
and I didn't want you to feel pain,
so I stopped.

I still have the burns
and you are no longer there
to take care of them,
but at least you didn't die..
