TOGETHER Footprints In the perfect white snow Gloved hands and scarved necks Arms intertwined Silently walking along The smell of pine needles Secretly soothing them The cold crisp night air Warming their hearts With every breath They have all the time in the world Tonight, forever The first snowfall of winter Invited them outside And they accepted happily They pause to take each other in Noses red, glowing cheeks To share a thought; a warm kiss Before they carry on their way Together I follow the footprints they left behind As I walk alone This calm quiet winter night Thinking of you and I Who will not be sharing this winter Who will not share this season Together The couple that walked this way before me Are only a dream I wish to share with you I'll breath in this cool fresh air now And hope to sooth my heart. I love you |
