we withered
so unexpectedly.
i caught a glimpse
of your eyes
an extension
of your memory.
until spring appears,
i will feel the same.
for the one
i know
i'm looking forward to.
i always see you in my sleep.
the girl
beneath
a flickering light
of hopeful promises.
i can't be myself
whenever she's around
she makes me sigh
and smile
she breaks my heart to pieces..
rainy days are here
and i'll be thinking of her
all these words are not enough,
when the sun's not shining..
she seems farther with each moment she melts with the crowd..
i can't hold my breath when she's near
her hand is a mid-summer breeze brushing through my skin
like a voice in a field of tall grass and butterflies,
singing love songs
over and over..
one by one
these days will be done,
i'll move on only to find myself running back
to the one this weary heart is longing for..
she's still the hardest song to sing
so much that it pains my heart to hear her speak
whenever she's around..
winter
end this winter soon
you will then,
bloom with the flowers..
rest your eyes..
for a while..
i'll watch you unfold your thoughts in your sleep..
i stare at the water
it whispers quietly
your frozen aphorisms..
your smiles' reflection
on it's glassy surface
is a calming scene to a stranger..
someday,
the streams will have life again..
i'll find it once i see..
i'm sure i will..
we could always go back to the beginning..
as we were..
but for now..
life will be colder than usual..
