Around and Around

It was warm summer when I loved you first.

Glittering waves formed into promise rings,

Smiling so wide I thought my heart would burst.

You were sweet like the fresh picked tangerines


In the fall, the rains started coming down

And an offbeat silence filled up our home.

It was the first time I thought I might drown 

in the bathroom lay your abandoned comb


Winter came with newfound desperation

And a chill that forced us back together.

Yet again you became my fixation

And I loved you second through harsh weather


When spring came, I knew our love would not last

cherry blossoms that bloom and fade too fast.
