I met you in the red and orange hue

of the autumn season.

You were like a predator

hunting for it's prey.

Out of a crowd

you sought me out.

Soon the frost of December

covered the landscape.

I fell in love with you

along with the snowflakes

on your eyelashes.

A love that burned like the

summertime heat

melted the snow.

It lasted as long as

you continued to live.

Once you faded into the dull grey

of January,

I was left still and alone.

My soul has been frozen in the memories.

I am still in the month of December

when our love was still lit.

My body is covered in the frost of December

right in the last place you kissed me.

I am frozen here in my

bittersweet nostalgia.

And here I will stay.
