Snowflakes

Written after Gunn calls it quits again, and I started dating an acquaintance of mine. Although it was never anything more than a surface level relationship, barely more than a friendship really, it was a starting point. A place from which I could proceed, from which I could start to get on with my life.


Snowflakes

As I was walking
down the road
Snowflakes fell,
Bitter.

Before I met you
I was alone
A snowflake,
Cold.

While I saw you
I was vulnerable
A snowflake,
Fragile.

After I met you
I was elated
A snowflake,
Sparkling.

As we were walking
arm in arm
Snowflakes fell,
Beautiful.
