That Christmas

*because Liz told me to


I did not understand
when I took you by the hand that Christmas
that I would still be holding it this one
We made snow angels, I lost my phone
we did not kiss
because your heart belonged to another
until we did kiss, and you have been mine since.

You are my greatest gift
even when we can't quite seem to sing the same lullaby
we will always seal the night with one kiss.

Sitting on that bench
looking at the lights those few nights before Christmas Eve
I never thought of how often we'd laugh
or how I would fall asleep by your side
I didn't know what this could feel like
and that I could keep you for always
my greatest gift that Christmas and this.
