my hands reached out towards the constellations of winter
beyond my white breaths
the twinkling stars are so far away
I start thinking of you

I understand more than anyone could that we can’t see each other anymore, but
my pain and longing can’t stay hidden in the snow

can I find memories of you
in the glitter of the blizzard?
the starlight is waking
the feelings I’ve kept inside since that day
in this white landscape was a  promise
that I could see you again someday
your smiling face from that distant day
warmed my heart

I look back at the road we used to walk down
through a similar snowy scene
while nestling each other
my footprints are alone now

sounds are lost among the pain and longing dancing in the clearing air
I walk now embracing both

the endless snow kept falling
acting as a wall to separate us
that’s when I saw you shivering relentlessly
and that innocence was endearing
then you gave me one final smile
I want to protect it with my everything
I ran through the streets
unaware that fate’s shadow was quietly drawing closer

as soon as the tears started to fall
I felt like you were holding me in your arms
but it’s just a hazy illusion of this freezing weather

can I find memories of you
in the glitter of the blizzard?
the starlight is waking
the feelings I’ve kept inside since that day
the powder snow dances through the air like feathers
softly covering all its path
I wear our irreplaceable memories
and etch you into my heart

the endless snow kept falling…
the feelings I’ve kept inside since that day…
