I do not love you
yet,
I hardly love myself,
but I feel my heart
swelling with
unspoken things
that my mouth hasn't
learned to say-

I want to take away
your coldest and
loneliest winters
and shine for you
like the summer sun,
kissing each freckle
on your shoulders
like they're ripples
on the shoulders
of the sea.

I want to be your
something good.
I want to stand
barefoot in the
dirt and dust of
disappointment and
offer you flowers
with calloused hands,
because no matter
what may come,
I want to be your
reminder that
life is still beautiful.

I do not love you
yet,
I hardly love myself,
but in the spring
things might be different.
hmm- this is hard to describe in any way, but i hope it's self sufficient.

winter is always very hard for me. i feel almost like the title itself is a declaration of some extreme accomplishment.

and yes, maybe a day is coming when i will love again. and maybe it will be him.

please comment?

Winter is my favourite season-- sadly, I just can't stand the heat of summer. That coldness does have a way of seeping inside though, doesn't it?

Your writing is so pretty, and it flows so well and it's just magic. Thank you for sharing it.
