cold air bites my cheeks
holiday bulbs light my walks
i remember every year without you
what do i get you for christmas
to make up for all the holidays
we missed and all of those
we've spent separated
what jewel sparkles
as hot as your kisses
what sweater is as warm
as being embraced in your bed
the bite of pine needles in the air
the taste of hot apples
and buttered rum
how sweet and bitter
is every moment with you in it
a gift to be received
and one which i would wish
never had to be set aside
not even for the necessities
of the coming new year
oh gift of christmas future
will you never come
will the night we share
keep me waiting another moment
I cannot wait to unwrap you
