Four Seasons

The leaves turn brown as autumn comes in
As does our friendship which now comes near an end
There was time well spent as we frolicked in the sun
But now all the ties must come undone

It is believed we are here for only a season
To stay past that there must be a reason
But if you can not fulfill your obligation
I bid you farewell as I take on the nation

Our hearts turn cold as winter befalls us
Not white like snow but bleak like the trees around us
Our feelings are buried and there’s no room for growth
This ‘ship that we have death has a hold

Winter has come and I search for new warmth
While you hold on to your cool in search of my warmth
I’ve locked the door and I’ve stoked the fire
You bring me warmth with a heart of ice, you are a liar

The cabin is set and the healing has come 
A knock at the door and spring has begun
Her radiant smile and that vibrant energy
The bird and the bees work in beautiful synergy

The April showers bring in May flowers
And the walls built up over winter come down like the towers
To bring in a new and revitalizing feeling
And appreciate what life has done to bring in some healing

Then summer sets in and the passion turns hot
A nice cold shower to bring it to not
The sand in our toes, the sun on our backs
Step on a crack and break your mother’s back

The games kids play, we’re having our fun
The world all around us, enjoying what is beneath the sun
Cold still tries to creep in through the heat of the day
But through all the four seasons, I want you to stay

So it is known people are only around for a season
And as said before to stick around longer there must be a reason
If I dismissed you please don’t come back
And if you dismissed yourself there is no helping that.
