Summer comes,
distance grows.

One here
one there.
Then you’re gone.

It starts with the rise,
and it just gets higher.
The rush, the shock
like a knock in my heart.
It feels right.

But
Winter always returns.
Just like you.
Your colours fade away,
mine don’t.

You cry for a light.

I’m not there.
Not anymore.
I climbed the mountains,
I kicked the clouds out.
I sent them far away.

And it hits you in the heart.
You start your descent,
unattended this time.
I don’t care.
I’m not awarding you a single glow.

I can see the aurora
and it takes my breath away.
Now I know
I won’t fire what’s extinct.
It’s not worth it.
