Only thing, I still remember.

Is a lonely night, in December.

When the air, is cold.

And there is no one, to hold

Close, to my heart.

Being lonely, just rips you apart.

I wish, I could hold you tight.

In what feels like, the longest night.

The kind of night, you can't sleep.

But memeories of you girl, I'll keep.

Kind of night, you can't lay down your head.

So I think, I'll stay awake instead.

Without you, the love of my life.

Without you, is the longest night.

the rhyming pattern you have is very good, and i love the storyline. but the one thing i would change are the commas between phrases. just make another line, lol
