Impossible Love;

"I would be with you." I whispered to no one.

The cold air blew my thick coat in torrents are my body and I shivered.

"But I can't." The words came out hot and sticky, never a good combination.

I watched her front door while the first bits of snow began to tangle within my hair.

I waited for her to walk out, wrap her arms around me and tell me to take her home.

"It won't happen." I reminded myself.

The lights in her little apartment went out.

"Goodnight."

I turned slowly on my heel and ignited my gloves to warm myself.

"I love you." The wind carried my words away.
