The sun screams.
I tell you to wait for the night.
Warm nights don't help.
Water.
You beg for it.
I watch you sweat.
I watch you fade.
Finally the storm clouds fly over.
You almost drown.
The sun loses it's voice.
The breeze flies by.
You make new friends as they fall from the sky.
But you shiver.
You ask for warmth.
I say it will come.
It grows colder.
You doubt my words.
You ignore me.
I laugh.
But my laugh fades.
You're frozen without words.
The sun won't shine here.
White all around me.
My lips chapped.
Won't you grow?
But you hide.
You hide from me.
And I cry ice tears.
I can't find you anymore.
You're buried.
The white turns green.
Then slowly you return.
You're small.
You've been sleeping.
I tell you I've missed you.
You say you believe in the warmth I once spoke of.
Warm air buzzes by.
Rain falls gently from the sky.
Perfect.
You don't drown.
You don't sweat.
You don't freeze.
You ask how I knew.
I tell you that it always goes like this.
I tell you there's a circle that we can't fix.
You say you always look forward to this time.
I tell you I'll never forget it.
