Together

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
