I Love

I had red
Eyes and ears
On New Year’s
Feels like
Long ago
Sitting with you
Under a roof
Covered with snow
And when you
Look me in the eye
You made a smile
You always smile
But in your eye
Your sorrow shows

If I don’t
Love completely
Believe me
I still love
If you’re love
Don’t complete me
I’m still learning
How to handle
So much
But a
Rush and a push and
The land we stand in
Is ours
Push come to shove
I love

In January
When nights are scary
On icy steps
I slip
I’m starting to think
I deserve
What I get
But if I got cold
Or when I grow old
And the years
Don’t loosen their grip
As I go
I will know
It was worth the trip

How do you say
Goodnight
With the sunrise in
Your eyes?
We caught it just
Before we knew
We’d have to
Close our eyes
