New fallen snow on a cold winter night
Peaceful and serene—Not a human in sight
Delicate flakes which glitter in the light
Tossing and turning and tumbling in flight

My blanket is something I very closely hold
For this night is frigid, and I'm quite cold
My love is much too lonely, or so I've been told
She'd be with me tonight if she really could

I hate this feeling far too much
All of this wretched loneliness and such
And though I wish not to use this as a crutch
I'm just too incredibly starved of her touch

To feel her warmth as we admire the snow
Is a feeling I truly wish I could know
And now I can feel the wind start to blow
The cold, uncaring truth it will show
