Christ'mass' with You

It was December 25, 2018
We were both old enough to be sweet as young teens
I love you and you love me
Sparks blasts out of our eyes

As we held each others' hand
Letting ourselves feel the eternal flame of our hearts
My warm hand to your bare cold palm
We were merry that Christmas night

We were together
Waiting for our names to be called in the grand raffle draw
I was in town because it's your place
I am there because my father wants me to be safe

And you were there
Your heart beating fast
Trying to give ourselves the spark we both want
Our souls say go

But my father said, "No."
