Don't Love Like The First Snow in the Winter

Don’t love like the first snow in the winter
Slowly, quietly
Drop by drop
Feels your heart with great excitement
Leaps with joy
Amazes you with the beauty of it
And than go away
Without trace
Leave you wondering when will it come again
The next winter you know
But when exactly
It promises you nothing
It comes and goes as it wants to
And sometimes,
It doesn’t come

You see? The first snow in the winter
Is so beautiful on the surface
Candy for your eyes
Just spreads so pure
White
But when you step on it
You are left with mud
Ruined grass
And you long for the beauty
And the next day you come back
You see the first snow in the winter
Covers the dirt
But you deep down you know
The mud is there waiting for you to step on

And you know, you love the first snow in the winter
Oh, you really do
With all the fun that comes with it
Wonderfully warm in a weird way
You can play all day
Yes, you can
And you love it
Maybe except
Oh, except
Except
It is cold
It touches your face, your arms
And it hurts
Oh, but you love it

The thing is, the first snow in the winter
Traps you inside
Of the cold
The first snow in the winter
Forces you to hide
Inside
Isolated from the world
And when the spring comes
You forget how fun it is outside
You are scared
For you have been trapped for so long
And you trapped inside
Forever

And the first snow in the winter
Is a cheater
It is possessive
It will not let you play with the sun
The rain
The trees
The grass
Yet you know
When it covers you with joy
It covers you with
With
Love?
With love
It also covers many other souls
With the same love it shows for you

See? The first snow in the winter
Forces you to wear jacket
Layers of jackets
It forces you to cover yourself
In a shelter
When you try to touch
The first snow in the winter
With a bare skin
Trying to feel the texture
The shape of it
The feeling inside it
It numbs you
You shiver with cold
It’s stabbing you inside

Don’t love like the first snow in the winter
The first snow in the winter
Leaves you waiting
The whole year
And when it comes
It isn’t as beautiful
As you think it would
As you think it is

So don’t
Love
Like the first
Snow
In the winter
