This Time of Year

"This Time of Year"

Amidst a crisp winter white

slowly falling from the sky

the soft crunch of snow

beneath my feet

always reminds me

that time has gone by,

This time of year always seems

to bring your memory,

A piece of my heart

left with you

when it ended,

     Its okay though

          I still remember you the way you were

          but that was a lifetime ago,

This winter snow however

always blurs the lines of what you were to me,

Feels like watching a movie remembering those memories,

I know that

Somewhere in this winter white

Our past still exists

but only like

     a snowflake,

fleeting in its beauty,

existing before our eyes

for mere moments

before

disappearing on the ground

among the million

other flakes of snow,

leaving behind 

only

their essence in memory.

Gone to time.
