The air is cold

Raising goosebumps on my

Skinny arms

Tiny bumps so small

I breathe out

And in

And watch my breath in front of me

Freezing in the icy wind

I shiver

And think of the times

When I ice-skated across the ice

Laughter ringing like bells

But distant bells 

Bells of so long ago I can barely remember 

And building snowmen

Of the little snow we got

I hug myself closer and sit on the bench 

Wrapping myself to keep warm

And to try keep out 

Winter's icy hands

I stand like a bystander

Watching my own past

And I keep staring

As a frozen tear forms
