On that cold winter's 'eve,
you were the one to comfort me,
the one to say,
everything was to be okay,
though you were the one lying there,
your head lay in my arms,
my heart aching for you to never leave,
while the frost settled like a blanket around us.
You whispered there was no pain,
a tear fell down my cheek and onto yours,
I wasn't sure if you wanted to go quickly,
to spare me any more sadness I might feel,
or so you would no longer see me cry.
