Snow Kissed

I know your wounds are still fresh

I can taste the salt from your tears

They have left trails for me

To walk in everyday

Head hung low

Heart too heavy

Gasping for air

Some days your eyes clouded

With doubts of the past and

Worry for the future

Will open wide

And be here now

Like a beautiful snow cloud

That blankets all that is ugly

Leaving it so still and pure

We have to shield our eyes
From the naked Sun

And remember to breathe

Being kissed by the magic

Of the falling snow

Our lips wet with promises

Our hearts beating in our throats

This moment is all there is

We are full of hope

We will hold each other

Like nothing has gone wrong

Leaving our past buried 

With this winter snow

Take my trembling hand

I promise to never let go.
