TRACKS IN THE SNOW

A dream is only a dream.
And Love is nothing but love.
You may believe that dreams are pure fantasy,
but they come true often enough.
Sometimes you try so hard you get skeptical,
because of the way things seem.
But that's not the way that you should stay.
You should rest on what you dream.
But the dreams that I've been having lately
make me see how love can come and go.
And I can't understand why it hurts so bad
to see the tracks in the snow.

A woman is only a woman.
Though sometimes they seem like more.
And when I first met you I let my heart
pull me up from the floor.
You know it's hard to find real truthfulness.
You won't find it out in the street.
And when a girl is a friend and also a love
that's the one you should keep.
But the women I've been seeing lately
have left me feeling really low.
And I can't understand why it hurts so bad
to see the tracks in the snow.

And the snow may fall for hours
until none of the tracks even show.
Still I don't understand why it hurts so bad
to see the tracks in the snow.

Someday, the tracks in the snow will lead TO you not away from you.

The willfulness of this poem makes it very easy for me to enjoy it. Great job!
