Alive

        Spring is coming. The sun is a little warmer, the air a little more embracing.
There's still a cold edge to the breeze, but the sunlight kisses it, and it's pleasant.
         I'm looking forward to Spring, after the cold and dry. I'm looking forward to being able to take walks without layers of clothing and pulling coats tighter to keep the icy wind away. I'm looking forward to the green grass, and lying outside at night, staring up at the stars.
        
         I love to watch the stars. They're alive. I love the way the grass feels and the sound of the crickets, singing away in the dark.
        I love it all.

And I can't wait to share it with that special someone, whoever he is, and wherever he is. I don't know his name, and I don't know his face...
but I can't wait.
