Picture Perfect

Up on a mountain
Alone stands a tree
“Picture perfect”
For all to see
A perfect blend of colors
Created in the fall
With the descending leaves
Adding beauty to it all
The winter brings with it
A look that’s all its own
It’s like peering at a snow globe
When the wind is blowing
The view in the springtime
Is like a breath of fresh air
Life as it blossoms is 
A sight which is fair
Summer makes sounds so soothing
By winds which compel the tree to dance
Inhaling its aroma
You’re enslaved into a trance
So, as the seasons continue to change
This perfect picture you can see
If you look up on the mountain
Where there stands alone a tree

I hate that we can't be friends:( . It is hard on me because I meant it when I told u all those words during our past. What's between us is ours ONLY! I have learned to love someone else who is a great man And is someone whom I have grown very fond of. I suffer inside my own mind everyday but with the bad comes some great things that I really appreciate having. DO NOT ever think what is ours is fake. It is one of a kind And. Very precious to me.
