I met a boy last summer
He said all the right things
And loved me in all the ways I wanted
When fall came
And the weather turned cold
It wasn't me who kept him warm
She did
So I fell out of love while he fell in
With someone else
The same boy of the summer
Came back in the winter
His smile was different
And his eyes were unfamiliar
He made me feel empty and whole
His words were unforgiving
But he kissed like an angel  
We fell in a different kind of love
I'm not sure if it was love at all
We fell out of love again in the spring
Right before summer
I stopped believing in love
It was a thing of fairytales
For princes and princesses
Not for girls like me
Who don't wear dresses
Or say please
But I met another boy this summer
He didn't say the right things
His hugs were awkward
But his kisses sweet
It wasn't love
But I wasn't looking for love
He made me feel right
And that's all I asked for
but his goodbye tasted like 'I love you'
and it broke my heart just a little
when the boy of the summer left for the fall
I ended up wandering through the days
I counted the leaves that had turned
and didn't look for anyone to care
but then there came him
his love popped into existence
like a lightbulb being turned on in the dark
and it left just as fast
for he knew I could never love him
but he loved me enough for the both of us
and would whisper to me that it's ok if I break his heart
I would get drunk and he couldn't understand why
I was never strong enough
to hold onto love
my hands were too small
and his expectations too big
boy of the fall had fallen too hard
for a girl who would always be in love
with her first summer
then he came back like a hurricane
reminding me what falling is like
his kisses tasted like natural disasters
and his eyes were the sky after a storm
he became the boy of the spring
and the summer
and the fall
and the winter
and many seasons to come
