At the Footbridge

At the footbridge above fresh fallen snow
Lovers stood once, opened hearts in silence
The fates led them here from a first hello
Beneath sunset that was in compliance

A weathered gray bridge, this memory kept
New promises woven by tethered hearts
Though years have passed by time windswept
They stand again on the bridge, gray sweethearts

They'll wait the moment when the sun will set
To honor  their first kiss from long ago
A footbridge crossing time turns a silhouette
To embrace a memory they both know

Two lovers, a kiss, a sunset aglow
At the footbridge above fresh fallen snow

Congratulations. I like the flow and the continuity. 'Two lovers, a kiss, and a sunset aglow'. The sunset of age and the ongoing sunrise of togetherness. A worthy winner.
