May 2015
Our love faded away like the summer fades to fall.
The warmth that was once there isn't there at all.
Just as the leaves fall from the trees,
My feelings for you are no longer seen.

Like the landscape in late fall, our beauty has turned grey.
There was nothing that anyone could do and nothing to say.
I tried everything I could to stop my freezing heart,
But my love for you still froze and quickly fell apart.

I imagine that you are Fall and I am Winter
Because your love is the growing tree and mine is a splinter.
I imagine that Winter is sorry for Fall,
because she takes everything from him, after all.

I am the cold dark winter, I am sorry to say.
There is nothing Fall can do to make that go away.
Winter may be cold, and it may be lonely,
But that isn't as bad as her feeling so sorry.

It is not on purpose that Winter harms Fall.
There was no intention that she can recall.
Because Winter loves Fall, despite what he thinks.
But her need for him to stay was gone in a blink.
I'm sorry, but sometimes I have to do what's best for myself. Even if it may not seem to be best for you...
