dead in the dead of winter

7:25 PM

for months now i've been watching the seasons change

and I'm having a hard time knowing we're going to do the same

these trees are filled with memories

and the mountains, first kisses

so let us sit together in a bed of flowers

let the rain baptize our skin

lets pick the petals off of the peonies

and count the stars when night time consumes us

he loves me

he loves me not

he loves me

he loves me not

the snow is starting to fall

i caught a snowflake on my tongue

but it melted so fast

so fast, and it's gone

the seasons are changing,

i can't seem to keep up

high school love fell with the fall and winter just ended

the snowflakes are melting but I'm still cold

the flowers are just starting to blossom
but it feels like its been spring forever

i look back now on the seasons

and ours is almost through

so lets sit together in a field of peonies and learn to love ourselves before anyone else

lets sit together, until august,

when we change with the leaves

he loves me
he loves me not
he loves me

he loves me not
and my flower, it died with him

the flower is dead
the winter is dead
and so am i

"the snow is starting to fall
i caught a snowflake on my tongue
but it melted so fast
so fast, and it's gone"

I can't find a line to quote because the whole poem is just so good.
