Snowflakes fall by millions
Like tears
Always together
Yet forever lonely

Winter is the loneliest season.

I was wandering in the darkness
In pain, parting and protestation.
And just as my heart was to break
I saw you.

I am a butterfly attracted by your light
So radiant and honest
And though you don't shine it for me
I'll still enjoy it all the same

You are my peace.

Your presence goes unnoticed.
Your smile is benign.
I can see through you... as if you were not here.
Is this it?
Is this... moving on?

I feel like a feather in the summer wind.

(You've been visiting me more lately. I was so happy to see your face again, but you overstayed your welcome soon enough. Though, I really don't have the heart to make you leave.)

Surely, you'll leave on your own.
Usually, people don't stay that long.
Seeing your smile all the time brings one to my face...
I still want you to leave now.
Et cetera, et cetera...

It goes on. It goes on. And once more. Forever?

Leave or love, it doesn't matter.
Over time, they mix and match, and my mind
Vacates and accepts.
Eventually, my heart takes over again.

You.

I know how much you worry.
I know how much you suffer. I know the hell you go through, every day.
But there is something you mustn’t forget:

You matter.
No one decides your worth.
No one can criticize your flaws.
No one can make you feel like nothing.

You’re worth as much as anybody, if not more.
You deserve the best in life.
You deserve the best in love.
Because you’re the best: it’s that simple.

And nobody can take that away from you.

There once was a farmer
Whose fields grew stale.
No matter his efforts
They would turn out to remain hopeless.

It had been years since they turned sterile
Yet the farmer still held out hope.
Against all odds, he still believed
That one day his harvest would be plentiful.

Do not become this farmer
That exhausts the earth.
Look for new fields
On which to grow your love.

(Your) lips remain in my mind, and there’s more that I long to see.
Or am I just entangled in the entrancing web of desire?

Your smile is still hypnotic.
I saw all of you, yet I still want more.
Who cares if we just met? We’d be great together! I know so…?

Please, take away my seal.
You, her, someone…
Anyone…?
