We had our forever-
That magical season
In the snow globe.

I wonder if you remember
That one room-
All the anger it contained
Yours and myne.
I’m sure there were moments
Where I wanted to claw at you
And times
Where you didn’t recognize me.

Someone once told me
That love is blind
Because it has to be-
It has nothing to do with logic

You were that blind love.
Our snow globe castle
Eventually fell
Because of all the rain

But my sense were heightened
And I have never loved
Like I did
Within our bloodstream.

You were out of reach
And that step forward
Meant more than rings to me.
Meant more than obligations,
And I love the winter
Because of you.

And because of you
I believe in seeing
And keeping the option.

I walk forward now
With my eyes open
Willing myself to blink
When it’s all worth it.

This step is forever
And finally this is goodbye.
My heart’s frozen garden
Will always be yours.
