Fleeting Winter Flakes

"Fleeting Winter Flakes"

The soft crunch of snow 

   beneath my feet

   feels like it did then

   only for me to remind myself

that time has gone by,

   fleeting winter flakes

fall from the sky

and I have begun

to blur the lines

of what you were

   to me,

somewhere amidst 

all this descending white

on the buildings

over the sidewalks 

    and covering 

    the tops of trees,

our past still exists for me,

a ghostly motion of us

moving

among these snowflakes

existing 

right before my eyes

for mere moments 

before disappearing

amongst 

a million other flakes of snow

remembering once more

that we were 

a lifetime ago.
