The snow continued to fall.

The snowflakes fell like soft kisses onto her cold face. With each loving touch of snow on skin a sense of flickering hope was bought into her life. Things were changing and this was the beginning of her new start. She slowly let out a long, deep sigh and watched her breath dance away from her in waves. The waves of her breath contained all the unwanted thoughts and feelings she possessed; with each exhaling lungful of air she felt her head clear, as if someone was wiping away the thick dust on an old and forgotten dresser, in swift and decisive movements things got clearer. 

The soft white flakes fluttered down from the sky above in such a synchronised and rehearsed manner, each falling with an innocent and tender grace, swirling and curling all around her; their enchanting elegance filling her with joy; each individual snowflake completing its set journey in life, each one finding what it was looking for. The supple dance of a newborn snowflake contained all the desire and yearning a trained professional could only dream of possessing. The precious snowflakes erased the footprints of those who had been before and in their place left an untouched white blanket of snow, ready to be explored and imprinted with new wishes. "No more" she whispered quietly into the unwelcoming air. The thought had flown out of her mouth and disappeared into the overcast atmosphere and gone forever.

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do.

When faced with a problem like this, she found it easier to imagine her thoughts and feelings as a long piece of knotted thick shipman's rope, that with careful precision and consideration could be untied, resulting in a clear and simple conclusion to the matter in hand, but as it so happened her thoughts seemed to be intertwined like a Gordian knot. If only she could react to a situation or problem as easily as he could, he treated his problems like fresh, powdery snow; throw it up glittering in the air and watch it fall into place; wherever it landed suggested what was meant to be. She sighed inwardly, annoyed at herself for pointing out another huge contrast between the two of them.
