Eternal Snow Poem by Casey Jarrell

Do you know how long it's been since I fell in love with you?
All the time, my feelings heavily grown for you.
Can you notice my feelings for you?
Somehow, I couldn't put them into words.

Just like the winter snow,
falling down quietly until they cannot reach.

Hold me tight- If this is how it feels
to be in love with someone.
I love you- and I've found you.
And so I wish that you could stay here.

Do you know how long you've been clouding my mind?
My sighs are fogging up the window glass.

Can a candle flame melt my frozen heart?

Hold me tight- tight enough to break me
so that in an icy wind or a blizzard,
I won't feel cold.
I miss you- every time I think of you.
Tonight,
we will stay
under the snow.

If there is an eternally falling snow,
could it be my feelings for you?

Hold me tight- if this is how it feels
to be in love with someone.
I love you- this feeling swells up in my chest.
I want to shout to the winter sky
'Can you stay with me? '
