You are autumn.
Chilly outside, but inside, you are warm.
Being around you is like being curled up indoors with a book,
Wrapped in your own universe. Maybe some hot cocoa, a little sugar.
Maybe tea, bittersweet and rich with thought.
You are colours bursting with life,
Blazing reds and yellows against a brilliant blue sky.
You are serien.
Peace.
You are the leaves that crunch,
when you step on them.
You are the smell on August chilly mornings
That melts into a sunshine filled paradise.
You are autumn.
You are also winter.
Frostbitten on the outside in a facade of cold,
Bitterness that has built up through the year.
But underneath all that you are clear, starry skies.
You illuminate things when it is least expected.
Underneath the cold you bring warmth
Comfort and shelter from the raging storms outside.
You are waking up curled in blankets on a bed
That calls for you as you try to wake.
You are a hug when it feels like nothing is going right.
You are winter
You are fall
I wish you were mine.
This is a poem I wrote about a crush I have on someone that will never know that I exist.
