Cold Winter Day

I wanted to go to the stars with you,

But real life bogged me down.

It keeps me here, anchored,

While you float in the stars,

Drinking from the Big Dipper,

Wrestling with Ursa Major,

Shooting star with Orion.

You were always so adventurous,

It changed who I was too.

Now, at nights, when it is cold

Like our first date, I never forget

To go out on that football field,

Lay out like we first did,

And watch you play in the stars.
