Winter

I have known for you for so long

Others come and go

But you are still here

And I hold you dear

Dearer than most

When you're not here

I feel you close



Cos you are the best friend

That I've ever known

And I hope you know

That you may have loved me first

But I loved you more

And I may have touched your heart

But you stole mine home



You were my first winter

And I still feel the cold



When we were young

You shook my bones

But I was too damn scared

To let it show

And they are still things

That I haven't told you

And I know there are ways

That I cannot hold you

Without holding you down

My small hands around you

Or the way you melt



You may have loved me first

But I loved you more

And I may have touched your heart

But you stole mine home



You were my first winter

And I still feel the cold
