Christmas Was Ours

We spent our childhood wondering

Silly little things like all children do

We wandered in our minds

Enjoying the feeling of cold Winter air

I was five, you were six

So long ago it seems

Yet it feels like it just happened

We stayed up all night

Waiting for Santa to arrive

But we always passed out

Together

In each others arms

Being ourselves

Something of ours I wish never changed

We grew older

You moved away

Said you were too old for these things

I cried

I still believed

I sat under the tree hoping you still did too

You were gone

I was 18, you were 19

We saw each other again under the tree

I remembered our childhood again

Rose in your hand

The snow falling down

Tears over your face

And a headstone in my place
