winter days
always remind me of you.
                                                                                        the way your feet would
                                                                                        touch  my feet under the covers.
i could never keep you warm,
but later i realized  that wasn't my job.

                                                                                        your warm breath against my chest,
                                                                                        and your icy cold feet woke me up.
i wanted so badly to embrace you with
all my warmth and love.  
                                                                                        i woke up to the reality that  i didn't have
                                                                                        enough warmth to give away.
now, i'm warm and alone.  
i miss your cold feet.
                                                                                        slowly waking up,
                                                                                        feet and all.
