Rabbit Tracks
Rabbit tracks in the snow
So clean and fresh, where do they go?
Leads to the edge of the place where you once sit
When I felt your heart beat, felt the chill against your warmth
And loved every minute of it
Rabbit tracks engraved until they're melted away
Remembering last years' like it was yesterday
Leaning to the edge now of this cool metal bench
Once sat you and I, so twisted but leaving no room to repent
We loved the direction 'till it dissolved in the dirt
Once lay glory and gratefulness
Had left us with nothing but hurt
Praying in vain that we'd find them again
But now lie a broken trail of different ones instead
I wonder where that rabbit now abides?
Feeding it's young, living in what's left of it's time
Nurturing a destiny that wants to forge it's prints
But never forgetting the ones that previously existed
So clean and fresh, where do they go?
Leads to the edge of the place where you once sit
When I felt your heart beat, felt the chill against your warmth
And loved every minute of it
Rabbit tracks engraved until they're melted away
Remembering last years' like it was yesterday
Leaning to the edge now of this cool metal bench
Once sat you and I, so twisted but leaving no room to repent
We loved the direction 'till it dissolved in the dirt
Once lay glory and gratefulness
Had left us with nothing but hurt
Praying in vain that we'd find them again
But now lie a broken trail of different ones instead
I wonder where that rabbit now abides?
Feeding it's young, living in what's left of it's time
Nurturing a destiny that wants to forge it's prints
But never forgetting the ones that previously existed

A year ago I had visited an old boyfriend from Junior High School; we still kept in contact for the last 5 years and were very good friends. We confessed deep feelings for each other but couldn't date again due to circumstances. We saw each other in the middle of a snowy night on my front porch and talked for hours. He committed suicide a month ago, and this is me remembering that night.
