A passing breeze freezes me to the bone and I can see my breath float aimlessly like the dreams I once held onto as a child.
Leaves fall to the grass in various shades of sunset colors, reminding me all too well of a moment we shared.
I remember when you cared.
I remember when the caramel stars in your eyes shot across the night sky just to reach me. Now they are stationary.
I hope the clouds still remind you of the marshmallows we counted in cups of hot chocolate, your laughter thawing my heart faster than the fireplace.
And when the snow starts to fall this December, I hope you remember how your icy words numbed me into a slumber I wish to never wake up from.
