Wintering ✨

remember when the snow 

nipped our fingers 

and you grabbed mine and put them in your pocket?

and i laughed because

you looked at me silly 

and my stomach was flittering


the fire pit burned

and our words spilled over drinks 

and that’s the first time

i heard your voice crack

and saw that tear in your eye 

and i knew i didn’t want to leave 


remember when we dipped our heads back 

to blow foggy breathes into the sky 

and stared at the moon?

you grew strangely silent so 

i turned to you 

and you were giving me a tender look

and it made me suddenly shy 

it was cold and it was warming me

in all kinds of ways 

and my breathe caught because i knew 

i couldn’t say goodbye 


remember when we walked the frozen lake

as the stars glittered above 

and we played music and sang

and danced our hearts away?

you grabbed my arm and we turned around

and around 

and around 

and i laughed and knew my life would never be the same
