There was snow today. I woke up and I saw it just coming down, I went outside and just walked around in it. Feeling the flakes dance and swirl around me, some hitting me in the face and others sticking to my jacket. I walked all the way down to the graveyard to find you, and I sat down against the big tree next to the gate. We used to come here and sit under this very tree, not because of any morbid fascination with graveyards, but from the peace we found with ourselves there. It was like an escape from our lives.
But today I sat under it alone. Thinking about how silly we used to get when it snowed. We'd wake each other up and go running around outside until there was enough snow to throw snowballs at each other. Even our first kiss was during a snowstorm. The ice had knocked the power out and we were sitting together bundled up in blankets and playing Uno. I was down to one card and was about to say "Uno!" When suddenly your mouth was covering mine. God you were crazy, always thinking of some 'newfound' inspiration for another project you were never going to finish, or some crazy new color to turn your hair. You wore every single emotion that ever went through that tiny body of yours on your sleeves. God I miss you.
I went over to your gravesite and ran my hands over your tombstone, facing once again the harsh reality that this was as close as I was ever going to get to you again. I shake a glove off my hand and draw 'I love you' on the acumulating snow. I'm just sorry I didn't heve the courage to tell you that when you needed to hear it most.
