just between us

this morning was a cold one
we woke to snow falling
(wet kisses for the shaggy lawn below)
and our breath clouded the window
you spoke of precautions and the ever-imposing "just in case"
i met your words with laughter
it was not welcomed
or wanted
tension coated the air between us
it was a short distance from my body to yours
and a large collection of miles for my pride to leap
my reasoning was faulty
your face was solid
this morning was a cold one
