in the winter it grew colder. the trees were losing they're lives. the air gained a cold breeze. I only expected it to be yet another cold winter waiting for the year to be over, like I do every year. I was losing the smile I had in the spring. I wanted it back, but I didn't know how to. I lost it with the warm weather.

I sat in my room pondering, "what's next?" "am I gonna end this winter just as I did last year?" and all of a sudden, in the chill of december, a reason, my reason, for my smile creeped back in.

it was you. the one with the smile that makes mine grow as wide as possible. the one with the eyes I could look into for minutes at a time and never not be memorized by. you were back, and I have a feeling you're here to stay.

with you, everyone's cold winter is a warm spring day for me. every minute spent with you is better than the last. I forget the chill in the air, because the warmth and comfort of being in your arms makes it unknown to me.

you're a light on my dreary winter day. the cold air drips all around me but I don't notice because your warm smile reminds me of being wrapped in the fuzziest blanket imaginable.
