The Snow Covered Bridge

The Snow Covered Bridge A snow covered bridge with on footprints in sight A picturesque place for a rendezvous night He stood in the cold till the cold got to him Then he turned and left with feelings gone grim On the opposite shore someone was waiting Bundled up in the cold and anticipating She too saw the bridge with no footprints in sight And thought to herself, this would not be her night Too lovers unwilling or maybe afraid To take that first step to the plans that they made And maybe it wasn’t a bridge after all But simply the failure to make the first call
