When the First Snow Comes - MONGYEON
Days feel shorter than before
The sun sets early through the door
I wrap my hands around the cold and walk the paths we used to know
Every streetlight feels like home, even now, even alone
I don't ask the night for signs, I wonder what we left behind
I'm learning how to let things be the way they quietly come to me
When the first snow comes, I'll be okay
I won't run, I won't look away
I'll let it fall on open hands
Like something I can finally understand
Not everything is meant to stay, but it doesn't mean it fades
When the first snow comes, I'll be okay
The cafe window glows in gold
Soft conversations, stories told
Someone's waiting, someone's late
Someone's learning how to wait
I sip my drink and breathe in slow
This quiet life I'm starting to know
I don't need answers anymore, or reasons written in the snow
Some goodbyes don't ask for pain, they leave you warm, not empty
When the first snow comes, I'll be okay
I won't wish for yesterday
I'll let it fall on open hands
Like something gentle, something planned
Not everything is meant to stay, but it doesn't mean it fades
When the first snow comes, I'll be okay
If your memory crosses my mind, I'll let it pass, I'll let it shine
No tears, no fight, no regret, just a moment I won't forget
We were real, and that is true
And now I'm real without you
So when the first snow comes tonight
Soft and calm in silver light
I'll stand still, breathe it in
Feel where I end and I begin
Winter doesn't feel so long
I've learned how to move along
When the first snow comes
I'll be okay
