Something We Dare Not Name

We walk and snowflakes fall soft upon your hair. Perfect crystals Quickly melting Like moments to memories Gone too soon If I held you close would we dance to the untitled melody that plays in my mind Or would you pretend not to hear it? Because I fear the answer I do not ask the question Instead We talk about riding the bus and living alone. As the music grows bolder I retreat down a chill path Because the frozen ground affords no sign of passage You cannot follow Still the song plays on Ever with me Unnamed Unshared and somewhat out of time
