Winter
It's cold out,
As I watch the view of the city around me.
It's so beautiful,
Like nothing you've ever seen.
The city lights sparkling,
The stars above you shinning.
It was like the first time he brought me here.
When we watched the stars one night.
And he held my hand as we laid on the grass,
Gazing at the sky, dazzling before us.
It was like we were lost in our own world.
Just the two of us, knowing I'm his only girl.
Then he pointed to one star that shone so brightly.
Promising me it'll be like the diamond ring he'll give me someday.
But that's not what shone the brightest.
It was the way we looked at each other,
That glistened in our eyes,
I smiled and remembered it like yesterday.
But so many years have already passed.
I try not to remember that,
Just wanted to this memory to last.
Then a breeze blows past me,
So I felt a sudden chill, and embraced myself to keep warm.
And as I took a deep breath,
Breathing the air around me,
So many memories flooded in my head,
About the winter days I've spent with the boy I loved.
I remember it all and the scent taking me back,
To the memories of the past.
I closed my eyes as I remembered,
And I felt as if I was really there.
So I found myself crying, tears racing down my cheeks.
Because the thing he didn't know,
Was that I still loved him.
I held on the thought, my heart aching,
Because my heart still belonged to him.
When suddenly I heard a voice from behind me call,
"Baby, are you ready to go?"
But I didn't want to leave.
I wanted to stay here forever.
And relive the memories,
This boy and me once had.
But instead from a distance,
I gave a quick smile and replied,
"Baby, I'll be right there."
And when I walked toward the car,
There stood the boy who now loved me.
So before I took another step,
I took one last breath,
And glanced at the sky.
And for a minute thought,
I saw his bright shinning star.
Then I slowly made my way back,
Fighting the tears,
Because I knew,
All I had left of him now,
Are just memories.
