as summer is to winter; spring is to fall…

I. 

spring. 

i dreamt of you.

i spent hours by the lake trying to fathom your existence, 

i knew exactly how i would treat you, 

you were everything i ever wanted. 

II. 

summer. 

you’re mine,

the sun shines a little brighter now,

i smile differently, 

you give me a flamed that can’t be tamed. 

maybe it’s the passion that burned in your eyes…

you wanted me, 

and i wanted to be everything you ever needed. 

III. 

fall.

trees lose leaves, 

and you decided to leave,

but i loved the way you always brought it back. 

it could’ve been the way your lips felt on mine, 

i don’t know. 

it was something in that way that you tasted…

none of the tears that i cried mattered, 

when you hugged me, my life didn’t seem so bad. 

ya know? 

you’d always come back. 

VI. 

winter. 

nights are colder, and the stars shine brighter. 

your hugs became longer, and the pain got lighter. 

i just wanna know why you’re contemplating on going away, 

when you know i’d do anything to get you to stay.
