When I met you
it was a summer day, just before the leaves fell as I did for you
Oh my dear, although you prefer winter
Deep inside of me is a longing for those warm summer days
When we went on sweet dates and I felt a flutter in my hearts center
Something magical was in the city air that summer, I still struggle to explain it, I still search for different ways
How pure and gentle your words were that night
For a moment even I was intoxicated by the summer breeze
Only the summer flora knows the secret as to how love feels suffocating yet makes one feel as high as the flying painted kites
And when you sat me down on the river bank and held me close, I could hear your frantic heartbeat with ease
We continued together on those golden lit days like a dream, in a haze, living out our time before the world began to fade
Do not believe in never-ending summers, for they do not exist
As sad as it may be, those memories become oh so precious, the many colors of your face in the sunlight like the most radiant parade
Eventually, the leaves had to fall as I did for you, who knew that falling could be such bliss
I now cry softly with the cicadas as I wait, as I miss you
When the earth comes full circle back to you, when I can finally relive that summer with you, this daydreaming heart will not know what to do
