beyond the sea

When I think about you, I think about winter.I think of driving in your car. Of the snow on the windshield window. A mint in my mouth.  Waking up in the dark of winter. I couldn’t recall if it was night or day. I think of our long hibernation. The cold wind comes around this time of year, I think of you. I don’t pull away or push towards it. I smile and think of the time I was so close to you.

I’m happy. I think you are too. I wish you many more warm winter nights.
