Love Poem: Now When It Snows

Now When It Snows

It was cold 
When we first met 
And you made it feel like home 
You were my safety net 
And I wanted to show you 
But you turned away 
you left me in this cold 
i had to learn the hard way

And now when it snows 
I think of you 
Holding my hand 
And warming my heart like you do 
And now when it rains 
I look at the ground 
The puddles reflect me 
And I see you somehow 
And now when the sun shines 
I hide away 
You taught me to bottle it up 
And to never be brave 
And now when it snows 
I feel my heart break 

Each snowflake that falls 
Is like another day 
I had to live without you 
And live with the pain 
Now not knowing 
Where you are 
I hope you’re in the cold 
Shivering hard 

No I don’t hate you 
But how could I 
I spent years loving you 
And I don’t even know why 
You were just cruel 
And distant and mean 
The things that you said 
You didn’t mean them to me 

And I hope you wonder 
About me 
And where I’m going 
And if I lose sleep 
If you’re wondering
Well I do 
But I’ve never been anywhere 
Colder than you
