My Snow Flower and I....

I met her 5 years ago in a winter blast. Snow had fallen and my hill became the perfect place to sled. I was still new to the neighborhood and was worried about meeting new people. My youngest brother had walked up to the new people that had been sledding on our hill and I went with him. There I met her.....The Snow Flower. She was a tomboy....adventurous, brave, talkative, smiling, and not afraid to take any chance. I was awestruck. I never met a real tomboy before....at least I didn't remember. A little later we decided to team up and we became the fastest team on the hill! As time passed by we became closer.....friendly punches and pushes became soft shoves and hugs. Apparently we both grew a soft spot for each other. For the next few days everywhere she went, I went and it was great. Then when the snow vanished.....so did she. I wouldn't see her for another few months.

Flash forward a few years later...I was off for the day since I was a senior at high school and I was exempt from test. I got a message from here on Facebook. She wanted to talk so she called me. She said the house was empty and wanted me to come over. I was a bit nervous but I went anyways not aware of the events that would unfold. When I got there we went into her room and just sat there and talked about things. Then things got quiet. We couldn't stop looking at each other. I looked into her eyes....leaned forward....and suddenly I found myself wrapped in her arms. I could feel her heavy breath on my shoulder. I could hear her breath in and out and it was music to my ears. I could feel the warmth of her body. The fire that had died inside a long time ago had been set off again.....
And like that.....it was over. I had to leave before her father had come home. I quickly collected myself and left. I walked home....ecstatic, emotional, and craving more.

Eventually however.....It would be a long time before we'd meet again. I gave up hope and met another girl who would crush my heart. After she shattered my heart I gave up hope. Truly.....I given up......there was nothing for me......I began to walk in darkness. It wasn't until I saw my winter flower that hope returned to me. Two days ago I heard a voice. I noticed it instantly. Nobody I know has a voice like her. I walked out and there she was. The Winter flower. We spent the day watching after the kids. We had our usual playful punches and shoves and we enjoyed our day.

Today I looked into her eyes....strange....maybe it was just me but I could feels something between us whenever we meet. A Bond? Puppy Love? Whatever it is...when I think about it....I smile a bit and look forward to the next time we meet.
