I know who you are
I know who I’d like to be.
You’re the reason I live
Will you spend life with me?
I make you smile
Every single day
But I’d love to be the reason
Your spirit never strays.
The rain was falling on my head
Now it’s disappeared
The leaves are crushed under my boots
The breeze is still.
We hold gloved hands
But I still feel your skin.
I memorised your laugh
Before it grew dim.
It’s time to gather around the tallest tree
And put aside our daydreams.
We’ll always be friends
But like the season, I fall for you.
Like remembering sunsets
Your words don’t fade.
They’re colours that burst
From a single shade.
Unmistakeable
Like a butterfly kiss.
You gravitate me
In moments like this.
The rain was falling on my head
Now it’s disappeared.

This was originally a song, but I edited it to fit into a poem format. You can read the original song version also if you wish.
Hope you enjoy :)
