Winter

[Ibby]

"I miss Winter
I miss snow and cold
I miss cuddling in front of a hot fire
for love more than warmth
I miss lying in snowbanks in a sweatshirt but
still being perfectly warm as long as she's there
I miss falling asleep in eachothers arms
and eachothers jackets
I love winter
But theres no winter here to love
And nobody to love it with"

"boots, jackets, hats lie
in piles by the door, we
cuddle close and warm"

"As the snow falls
You sit
Staring
Off into the distance
Like you're waiting
Like someone
Or something
Is coming for you
To take you away

Turning fast you bury your face
In my shoulder
And wrap your arms around me
Your arms under my coat
And sitting there like that
You fall asleep
Content and warm,
Leaving me
To sit
Staring
Off into the distance

And wondering
What it was you were waiting for
All this time
And if it wasn't me after all?"
