Winters Loss

the moonlight glistened against the freshly fallen snow, as we walked we held hands our coats were no protection against the winters wind, we loved then, and were one on that cold winters night but as the night faded and the daylight began to break once again we had to part you drove home in your battered old chevy, the one we used to laugh about, but the dead of winter got you and you never made it home, the old, worn tires lost their traction on the snow covered ice, they lost their grip and skidded out of control, they tell me you died instantly for you their was no pain, the pain of losing you is all mine I still feel the love for you I had then, death holds no bars and it takes whomever it wants.
