Summer and Autumn

the bright lights blur around me
as i stand in the middle of controlled
chaos. i've never been more proud
of you in my life than when i saw
you walk right by us.

swirls of blues, reds, and whites
fly past me as i walk out into the
dark and see the clouds of my
breath. it was like watching you
in the movie of my life, ending the
way i always knew that, deep down
inside, it would.

when past and present colide, the
wind carries me away like a feather.
if you've never been in love, you'll
never know the difference in a summer
breeze and an autumn storm.

let this rain wash away the sins in
my life, let this snow cover the open
wounds that are left. you are the hole
in my heart, the scar of the stitch on
my chest. when seasons change, so
do we.

i knew you were the one because we
loved each other from across the room.
we are a cliche that's all too rare. in it's
fashion, our love ended with credits to
spare.

we sat in my car and sang a happy tune
as i cried and you held my hand. we
laughed and you told me your fears and
i assured you that i was unaware. that
night, my light left with you.

when past and present colide, the
wind carries me away like a feather.
if you've never been in love, you'll
never know the difference in a summer
breeze and an autumn storm.

let this rain wash away the sins in
my life, let this snow cover the open
wounds that are left. you are the hole
in my heart, the scar of the stitch on
my chest. when seasons change, so
do we.

i chew on my bottom lip as i plan my
future, always keeping you in mind.
how i'll wish you well in whatever you
do and promise you i'm fine.

some loves are meant to last and some
are meant to die out. i've found clarity in
my life with you. you are my best friend
and i'll be there on the left side of your bed
when you're lonely.

please never forget that i'm there with you.
when the wind blows, that's me hugging you
tight. and when the rain falls, for every drop
that hits you, that's my kiss goodnight.
