Suddenly my nights became darker

And I started to watch the smoke curl in the air

Twisting in whisps that tried to grasp the stars

As if reaching for you

My mind became hazy

And my stomach filled with alcohol

taking away my pain for the night

and I tried to forget you    

But it didn't matter

putting a cigarette between my teeth

and letting the vodka burn my throat

was nothing compared to the memory of your lips

And the as winter grew colder

the snow beneath my feet turned to ice

and I shivered pulling your jacket over me

as if you could melt my heart again.
