SEASONS

It was never summer for us
Though we pretended it was
true, but
It was never summer for us
And this we both well knew

So it was inevitable
When Winters struggles came
That it would freeze us both
And crack our hearts
Coat us in ice and hurl us far

And now in the sunrise
Of inevitable spring
No more to each other
No more do we cling

But gaze away
To summers new
In the hope
Life will grant us both
A love more true
