Frostbite

           I wonder now
           as I am back here to where he lent me
           his navy blue jacket that surely saved me
           that was for a night
           but I never got the chance to return it
           and so one night of saving
           turned into nights,
           several nights I am in comfort
           and I am feeling less cold.
           ---------------------------------------
           I wonder now
           did he survive? the cold? without his jacket?
           or is he gone? forever?
           did he experience frostbites?
           ---------------------------------------
           and it occurs to me,
           I will not know what happened to him
           and what will happen to me
           but no matter what,
           I have a choice.

           should I lend others this jacket too?
           or should I keep it to myself?
           he thought I was worth saving,
           I think there are others out there
           worth saving too.
