Narrative Poem

I gripped her hand tightly and said we had to walk

She whispered it was freezing, and I said "I'd warm you up."

The snow was barely falling, but the sun wasn't out enough

To warm our bodies and our hearts, so she put on her earmuffs

We left the warmth inside the home and walked beneath street lights

I watched her breath as she was speaking, form in the evening night

We touched on topics such as love, and the meaning of our lives

We had a ways to go; our destination still not in our sights

I had a flask in my back pocket; she spoke of addictions that we had

She said she needed coffee and I replied with "Dear, you got it bad."

We watched the silhouetted snowflakes, then she kissed me on the cheek

I felt warm despite the snow and I swear my knees went weak




Every step we took, left a story in the snow

We gave the story pictures by drawing on car windows

Our Gallivant had started, moments or weeks ago

All time seems to blur, when I am with you so

It gets hard to remember when I'm in this state of limerance

I seem to fool myself into thinking 'everything is permanent'

I mustn't think too much, I'm in love for this instant

It's quite an incredible feelings- 'She looks rather brilliant'

I think to myself, as moonlight catches on her elegance


The first date, always brings out innocence


We round a bend and the wind becomes prominent


But still anything but her, fades from my existence


We noticed the coffee shop could be seen

Through the snowfall and between the trees

It wasn't freezing but there was a breeze

And I knew I was living for times just like these

You said we had to hurry, so you quickened your pace

Each footstep carried you closer to our favorite place

Inside, it had a distinct smell and an amazing taste

You ordered our drinks as I counted freckles on your perfect face

We took our time through our conversation

Each topic an accomplice to our procrastination

The shop was closing soon and we had to head home

But I didn't mind walking, because I wouldn't be alone
