Not Too Bad

Once there was summer
And winter
Two opposites
Going to the same direction
Looking for answers

He was the open night sky
The blazing heat
And the giggles of adolescence
As they threw off their clothes and
Found harmony with nature

She was the snow covered grounds
A still lake
Snowflakes as they dance down
And touched the cheeks of the lonely
Kisses of comfort

When the summer met the winter
He wasn't sure what to think
Because all his pretty little mind
Could think about was autumn
And he couldn't do anything about it

When the winter met the summer
She knew what was going to happen
Because her frosted heart
Picked up at the sight of him
And she couldn't do anything about it

He chased after autumn
But found he couldn't catch her
Between his fingertips
Only found crippling breezes
And dead leaves

She closed her eyes
And tried letting him go
But no matter what
She could still feel him
Through the blizzards

And the time came
When summer saw winter
And said "You're not too bad,"
To that she replied
"You're still as amazing as before."

Then she did the unthinkable
And showed him her heart
She was frightened
He was surprised
But he didn't leave

He whispered "Careful, I burn,"
And she laughed "Not likely,"
But when her fingertips touched his face
She knew what he meant
When she looked into his eyes

For a night they stayed
In each other's arms
No words
Only a sense of connection
Rang through the field

Then there was summer
And winter
Two intertwined hands
And humming hearts they
Followed
