The air is frigid
But our bodies are warm
We walk in long black coats
Teeth chattering
Arms locked, fingers intertwined
Talking of the beautiful leaves

Your ears are cold
My nose is pink
We walk together
Enjoying the company
We share our thoughts
And laugh together
Our breath is smoke
Warm air against
the chill

I'm thinking now
About our walking
In the long black coats we wear
When the reality of it is
I sit alone now
Merely daydreaming
Of the lovely tomorrow to come.
And the great warmth of
*your smile
