With you by my side I'm not alone.
The snow silently falls from the blackened sky.
You try to dry the tears I cry.
A sudden warm embrace,
AS I force a smile upon my face.
The trees rustling their bare brances,
Cannot be heard above my cries.
An embrace that coudln't last long enough.
I tried so hard to be tough,
But I couldn't hide the fear in my eyes,
Or stop my endless sighs.
I can still feel the love you gave me.
I wish it did not have to be,
Our last night together before you were leaving,
Upon a cold wintery evening.
