"IT'S COLD OUTSIDE"

The sound of
rain on the roof
leaves falling
and a fire in the fireplace.

Two shoulders
side by side
and it's cold outside.

Talk of the future
a little house
a white picket fence
and laundry on the line.

Two hearts growing old
side by side.

Then one day
a graveyard service
one plot filled
the other waiting

and it's cold outside.
