It was December when I first saw you,
   your face was tanned considering,
   snow had been pouring down for days,
   since the 15th (now the 21st).

   My cheeks were flushed rose,
   like roses had come alive and,
   painted them their very selves,
   twisting their thorns like brushes.

   It was cold outside and the cafe
   was warm like the first smile,
   which froze onto your lips when,
   I walked in with my friend who noticed.

   I couldn't leave the cafe without learning,
   how many syllables were in your name,
   or if you were currently in a relationship,
   (and thank god above that you weren't).

   I spent Christmas meeting your sister,
   and her little boy who was only three,
   and bless his heart for he was maybe,
   just the sweetest soul i've seen.

   We spent New Year with my family,
   as my they decided I couldn't keep you,
   my own little secret anymore and,
   you knew how much that annoyed me.

   I spent Valentines day realising,
   all the trips we've been on and,
   the things that we've seen it's surprising,
   I haven't ran half a mile but i'm comfy here.

   And by the time the first shower of April came,
   I was lying in your bed on a precious Sunday morning,
   Realising it was too late for me to get hurt,
   Because I was already head over heels in love,

With you.
