Into the Night

Can this really be the end
Of the happiest times of our lives
For the last happy time to be had with you
I am hopelessly sad. 

When your small cold hand slips away from mine
And you leave me behind
I stare after you into the night
Hoping for things to be different--
But knowing it only a fragile whisper in the deepest of my dreams,
I stare after you into the night
Wishing the frozen tears away--
While watching the snow fall oh so quietly.
