the December winds
sharp and cold
a month with a story
to now be told
i had watched you dance in circles
get lost among the weak
i watched you try love from a distance
yet in the end still meek
i watched you search for no one
i watched you search for all
and for a day you saw me
standing there through it all
a tiny glimpse of love
on one December day
with flowing affections all around
but our love was hidden away
in a moment so quick
i realized that i was alone
just.. *he* was around
as my other would roam
and the sharp cold hit me
into a shiver and shake
and ... he looked at me
it was my hand that he'd take
and he pulled me closer
without fear
knowing that the other wasn't near
wrapped his arms
around my waist
held me tight
not a second to waste
and i looked up at him
and i saw there - his eyes
in that moment
erased the over analyzed lies
and a tear to my eye
knowing he was there
finally realizing
that he really cared
yet ... eventually in the night
he'd leave. he'd be gone.
and once again we'd begin to fight
and the love would all be wrong
here i stand alone
wishing you could stay
but you were only here to keep me warm
for one December day...
