When there is fire in me then I am still cold. When I own your true love's face then you will not see me. To all things I give no more than I am given. In time I may have all things, and yet I can keep nothing. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“Ice”
Ice is cold and can melt with heat, but it does not relate to the aspect of reflecting true love's face or having the qualities described in the riddle.
“Fire”
Fire is typically hot and does not remain cold, nor does it reflect anything, which contradicts the clues about seeing one's true love's face.
“Water”
Water can be cold and is involved in many reflections, but it does not fit the idea of giving what it is given or having all things yet keeping nothing.
