I was like a seed,
small and unprepared and alone.
You were like the summer,
warm and encompassing and loving.
Your warmth helped me grow into a beautiful flower,
made me ready to face the world with you at my side.
My roots were intertwined with you
and your heart
and what I thought was love.
But now autumn is here,
your warmth is gone
and I have been uprooted.
You've left me to fend off the winter on my own
and I don't think this little flower can survive.
