Gentle flakes cascaded downward,
Crystallized in the shifting glow of street lights.
Giving chase through the majesty,
Hypnotized by the pavement’s gentle purr,
Two people stole a passing glance,
Mesmerized by the solitude they shared.
I took a moment just to revel in our silence;
Comfort unabated, unparalleled, unrivaled, and unreal.
It was time to break the ice,
To bare myself, to share my truth
The way you’d done the moment we
Embarked upon our joyride.
As time appeared to freeze,
I carved and sculpted out my thoughts.
Your eyes exclaimed, “Get on with it!”
I finally spoke, and
You smiled knowingly;
You smirked happily.
You’d choreographed a perfect snow dance
For the two of us
To usher in a winter wedding with.
