Beneath the canopy of darkness And the yellow of the street lamps. We walk at the pace of a traveler With no map or destination. We journey down the sidewalk with Goosebumps on our skin, And a dimmed fire in our hearts, The small distance between us Being the only warmth Against the harsh winter air. You point your nose towards the sky And let out a little laugh-- A little cloud escapes into the night-- And mesmerized, I find myself smiling And when i look up, I swear I can see The stars smiling too. And as I watch the movement of your lips, And as I listen to the sound of your voice, I decide that the late winter nights Are most beautiful As long as theyβre with you
the fourth poem i wrote my boyfriend (back before we dated) from about a year and a half ago :)
