I appreciate your words,

It touches me that you care

And I believe that you will always be there

It is lovely that I am in your prayers

But I am simply not your cross to bear

Jesus did not die for me.

I’ll be waiting for you in the year’s first snows
Underneath the falling cold, just flicking cigarettes
Waiting patiently as my skin begins to glow
Frost bite is nothing compared to lifelong regrets
I’ll watch you walk up carried by wind’s steady blow
And covered in hope and sweat
I offer a ‘Hello,’

Awaiting your response to hold against my winter.
