Cold Fire (2008?)

I'm a gamer (table-top role-playing enthusiast). When I was playing a game called Earthdawn, I made a character named Kat: a young woman alienated by all things human, obsessed with death and metahumans (elves, t'skrang, other "races" that had humanoid features but weren't technically human). Because my Game Master was awesome, my Earthdawn character had a chance to meet characters from a Shadownrun (futuristic, semi-apocalyptic) game in which I played. Kat became (non-sexually) infatuated with a human (character) called Blend.

This is an excerpt written by my character about Blend (who, because of her Earthdawn-esque fascination with the elements and his strangeness [not only in personality, but in being so different from the people of her time] she thought of as burning without flame) ...

Cold Fire

Cold Fire, you remind me of the best of one long ago.
His eyes, but a purer soul shining like a million diamonds.
That night, those words, stolen moments when I wove threads and tales while you watched and showed me a world I'd never glimpsed. And in that time I learned of a sun I'd never seen, a sky I'd never felt rush over me in wind and rain. And I knew a feeling only imagined before.
Why?
Why must you be from this time and belong to a world I can never reach. You remind me I can covet feelings one of my kind will never have.
Oh, Cold Fire, you're a reminder of a time I can see but never really understand.
Long after our days of words are gone, I'll remember your kindness as you told me I was no longer dead ... and what you meant to me.
