Since I handed you your final rose

In your house

I'm staring out the window at our tree (We planted below)



The heights of which

You'll never

Ever know



You always

Were there to rescue me

From December



I wonder if you'll look the same

When you embrace me on that day

Will you remember my name

When I return home again?



In my mind's eye

I see you next to me as I'm on my knees

It's in this place

That you showed me how to ask eternity



For shelter

For comfort

For relief



You always

Were there to rescue me

From December



I see our branches stretching

To heights you'd not believe

One day these leaves will reach you

And there will be no more



Pain



You always gave me refuge

Unconditional

You always offered shelter

From December's snow

My chin still rests upon you

While my feet they sway

I wonder if you'll look the same

When you embrace me

On that day
