The flowers are blooming as the rains slowly stop
The soft breeze as the bees start to emerge
She always had it in her head that she couldn’t be loved
As much as she yearned for it, she was scared
Until she met him
At first glance she knew that this was going to be different
That she was going to have to face her fears
“I’m scared, I think I’m falling in love.
I am happy for her
That the seasons are changing
The days stretch for longer as her love grows stronger
Beach days, lake trips, strawberry picking
He seems to be the love of her life
She sees the children on the streets play
The plans for their future runs through her head
She daydreams the possibilities as she imagines what’s to come
The blazing summer sun and then it actually happens!
“He proposed, I’m engaged, a winter wedding with my soulmate”
I fear if she knows
The seasons do change
The leaves fall as the temperature slowly drops
Pumpkin patches and she can wear her favorite sweater again
A gust of wind blows the leaves as he slowly drifts away
She tries to hold onto something that isn’t there
Although his presence is there, his mind is not
She notices, not bringing it up, hoping that nothing will change
Her nightmare comes true as he tells her that they need to talk
“He found someone else, I wasn’t the one”
I reckon she gave up
These seasons never change
The winter air brushes against her but her pain is still there
No leaves on the trees
The feeling when she just wants to cry and let her anger take over
When she thinks about what was supposed to happen
The flowers dead and gone
The fog brings the gloom upon her
Her heart yearns for the person gone from her life
“My pain isn’t going to end, it’s forevermore like the winter air”
I hope she knows
The seasons will change
Once again the flowers will bloom
She will watch them knowing nothing is guaranteed
The bumblebees still fly as she is slowly healing
“But there’s still an ache in my heart”
I promise it will all be over soon
