remember when

we would say "i love you" before we hung up the phone

and if i didn't say it back you would get an attitude.

then we'd laugh and smile

because nothing else mattered. 

simply you to me

and i to you.

i shiver at the thought of you

playing in the snow and drinking hot cocoa,

snuggled up to a fire with a nice movie,

or simply enjoying

the presence of your other

but your other is not i

although i wish it was

the snow reminds me of being in your arms

safe and protected

i cannot feel a thing

maybe i shall stay here a while longer

i'll see you sooner than you think

i did this for you, darling

it's all for you

i miss you
