Carved our names into concrete and snow

We sat on the edge of the frozen lake
and stared into it, thinking how it looked like eternity.
You said:
"let's go inside, I'm freezing"
But I just smiled and watched the snowflakes fall from your eyelashes
like little mirrors of eternity.
I think you understood, because we stayed there for hours
our cheeks flushed with our body's feeble attempts at
keeping us warm.
"How long do you think we'll be trapped in this cold?"
I asked
and you said
"Until the Spring comes, and I swear to you, the Spring will come"
"But, god, it feels like Winter lasts forever these days. "
"I promise you the Spring will come."
