AN:Well, it seems everyone has been enjoying this poem, lol! I hope you like this final chapter- it gave me quite a bit of trouble, but I think it came out ok.

Chapter 4: Winter
-
I watch the last of this year
As the day's end draws near
The air is crisp, the night is clear
And I'm not walking alone
-
My freezing hands I rub together
I wish I had my gloves of leather
My fingers feel numb in this weather
But I don't really mind
-
Because in this group that's walking
Sheen, Libby and Carl are talking
And a boy I once was plonking:
Jimmy is his name
-
So I can stand to brave the chill
As we climb up this mystery hill
And I simply can't wait until
We find out where we are
-
An arcanum Jimmy made the goal
So it's out of my control
Along with my heart, he stole
The chance to pick the place
-
Then he turns to us at last
And says "This place is unsurpassed."
And I wonder if this is my chance
To finally stop and rest
-
As we crest the frozen mound,
I can't believe what we found
And all we do is hear the sound
Of surprised and happy gasps
-
The moonlight twinkles off the scene
The frosty lake seems to gleam
A more beautiful sight, I've never seen
As the wind blows softly by
-
And as my friends discuss the beauty,
Jimmy draws closer to me
And I don't think that this could be
A more perfect moment in time
-
Saying nothing, he just stands
As I once again rub my hands
And think again of the distant lands
Like this, he's taken us to
-
I'm surprised when suddenly he speaks:
"…Finding this place took me weeks.
Look to your left, you'll see the peeks
Of the Ulandike mountains"
-
I just let a sigh escape
As I take in the landscape
By the light of the moon I see the shape
Of a herd of caribou below
-
"Cindy?" He asks, his words concise,
As I turn to him, and away from the ice
"May offer you some advice
On keeping your hands warm?"
-
I stop rubbing them and gaze
Down at them, in malaise
And I can't help but reappraise
My lack of gloves, again
-
"Sure," I smile as I say,
"You command, and I'll obey."
He starts to smile and says, "Okay,
Let me hold them awhile."
-
And I wonder if he's serious
Or if I'm just delirious
I wonder if it's deleterious
For my head to spin this way
-
But then I look him in the eye
He is waiting for me to reply
This is the moment: no more lies
So I reach out my hands
-
And he takes them into his own
Just like he had always known
That my mind, he's always blown
One way or another
-
After some time has passed,
He says, "It seems time has amassed
Many things into our past,
Memories, good and bad."
-
"Yeah, I sure know what you mean,
I can't believe the things we've seen
Never woulda thought it'd be routine
To have adventurers like this."
-
He smiles wide at my confession
And I wish I could end this repression
Of a simple life changing question:
'Do you feel it too?'
-
For as his hands still hold mine
I think about his brilliant mind
And wonder, if our talents we combine,
How far in life we could go
-
But he cuts off my reflection
On the benefits of mutual affection,
And so ends my inspection,
As he speaks again
-
And as the words he tries to choke out
I wonder what this is about
And I wonder (with some doubt)
If suddenly he's nervous
-
"Cind," He says, then bits his lip,
"Yes?" I now too quickly quip,
As my hands he firmer grips,
Looking in my eyes,
-
"Could I possibly ask you something?"
"Sure." I say, my pulse thumping
As my heart starts really pumping
And he draws closer still
-
"You see," he says, "I've been trying
To figure out why I've been denying
The things my heart has been implying
And I wonder if you feel it too?"
-
"What is it that you're saying?",
I say, as I begin praying
That he is finally laying
His heart on the line
-
"I find myself intrigued by you-
You challenge me as too few do
I tired to ignore it but it just grew...
Into whatever this feeling is.
-
I think about you all the time
I can't get you out of my mind
It's like you're inexplicably entwined
Into my heart and soul
-
And all I want is to make you smile
Because your grin has me beguiled
And when this data I compile,
It adds up to one thing
-
It seems that despite my best endeavor
This tie to you I can not sever
And I have no idea whatsoever
Why I'd want to, anyway
-
So bottom line, I've fallen for you
And this confession is overdue
I only hope you feel what I do..."
He says so breathlessly
-
"Of course I do!" I smilingly said,
As the giddiness through me spread,
And I move close to his big head
And kiss him timidly
-
I can't believe it's come to this-
We finally share our first kiss
And I can't believe that time we missed
Hiding what we felt
-
I feel a snowflake on my nose
As the winter breeze past us blows
I grin because we finally both know
This is the start of something wonderful
-
And when times shift and change
And our lives mix up and rearrange
I hope this feeling stays the same,
...Through every season of my life
