Snow, Like You

I saw a snowflake drift silently past my window . . . 
and I watched as it danced and turned . . . 
It was so real ~
so full of life!
    Finally, I could stand it no longer.
       I swung wide my window and let it float in.
            It melted away . . .
               I was left with a beautiful memory ~
                   a drop of water on my fingertip, my lips.

I couldn’t understand how it could have changed . . .
so quickly, so silently . . . 
I only wanted to reach out to it ~
and care for it.
    Yet alas,
         a snowflake . . . 
             as you,
               must be touched
                  gently.

I appreciate your thoughtful words, I do. I've missed and neglected to reply to comments, partly being new to this site yet am catching up.
