The winter kiss

The night wraps me up in its dark embrace.
The soft kiss of winter brushes my cheeks.
A kiss goodbye from a perfect mate.
The comfort of spring holds me at the edge of dawn.
It waits while it lets me in on its secrets.
The perfection of these combined elements pervades.
My eyes closed, I take in every breath of new life.
Each blurred light, passing like a modern shooting star.
Beckoning for me to come along to the destination.
But I am already here where stars can't take me.
The years slip from my eyes, for this feeling is timeless.
The morning light comes too soon this time.
Stealing from me the one perfect thing I have.
I will wait for you here until you return once more.
The sun will hide again to reveal you, the night, as my own.
And we will dance like the day will never come again.
