She glanced up as the flakes fluttered onto her nose.

“The first snow” she sighed
She pulled her coat closer around her and smiled a bittersweet smile. It was nearly a year now. Inspite of everything, memories of him flashed through her mind- resting in his arms near the fire, ice skating at the pond, kissing under misteltoe,Christmas shopping with him. Once again her heart ached a little. She would never get another winter with him.
It’s over. It’s been over for almost a year she chided herself.

A year now-I’ve lived a year without his love. The thought simultaneously comforted and saddened her. True she had survived, but the first snow reminded her how much she still missed him.

“Will I ever really stop wishing?” she asked the sky
Her only answer was the snow falling harder and the wind picking up.

“Let’s just get back to the apartment and get warm. Maybe something good will happen,” She said again to nobody.
She continued walking-continued trying to forget about last winter’s love.
