They slept in the still dark morning of winter
6:30
Your fingertips that stopped the alarm

It rains
Waking up from a dream and lighting a cigarette
Exhaling peppermint smoke
I remember the sky being gray

Red stripes
Wrapping the muffler you gave me
I sway in the yellow local trains

An empty heart
The sound of rain falling slowly
The absence of you and your silky black hair

A winter-colored sky reflects off a puddle
White sneakers wet from the rain
The weather today makes me melancholy

Hurrying to walk the city
Forgetting in the spring

Waking up from a dream and lighting a cigarette
Exhaling peppermint smoke
I remember the sky being gray
