December

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...
