Winter was always your favorite. I liked Fall or Spring, but I loved Winter because I saw you the happiest.

He spent every winter with me. Yes, we hung out with our other friends and we looked out for each other, but it felt like he protected me the most. Why? I never understood that and who knows if I ever will.

I almost always fell more during the winter and blamed it on the ice and he would always laugh and as I threw loose snow at you and it got more in my hair than on him, he smiled at me. The corners of his mouth would turn up into the grin I could never live without and ruffled my hair, saying it was to get out the snow. Even if there was no snow, he'd still do it and blame it on snow.

He had the purest smile, the truest laugh. I mean, it's probably the same. But it's been a long while since I've heard that laugh or seen that beautiful smile. With him, I never questioned whether or not it was a real smile, I always just knew. 

You sucked at hiding your emotions from me, Minnie. But you liked that, you've told me countless times.

He said that he was almost positive every year that if I went outside, I would melt all the snow on the ground because I had such a bright personality. Where others was annoying or childish, he somehow saw love.

 I know, I know, 'stop saying somehow, it's obvious'. But I went through a period of doubting it again. I just couldn't bring myself to tell you.

There's a lot more times like that. You'll say that you knew, but you never fully knew what was going on in my head. No one ever has.

But you try to know
