A Love Cold Like Winter, a Touch Warm Like Spring

She fell for you in the spring
Pink
Green and white
Your laugh filled the air and
The smoke fills your lungs
Chapped lips
And they moved like ballet dancers
Across the canvas of her face
You told her stories of when you were
High
Laughs and smiles
She wanted you to feel it
The high she felt when you were around her
She tried to write a list
Of all the little things you did
To make her smile
Wishing
In hopes that you could want her
In the same way.
Your Hands
Ice cold and interlocked
A simple gesture
Giving her hopes for something more

She wanted you in the summer
Muddy water
The hot sun tans her face
She tried your way of having fun
For once
She laughed so hard that day
You ate so many Popsicles
Ice cold
Green and pink
But couldn't stop at one
She smiled for no reason
High as a kite
And not a sound but music in the garage
She liked your way of fun
She liked every single thing
About you.
She was new to all of it
Loving someone
Enjoying something
So much that even breathing the same air as you
Made her high
It was almost like a healthy addiction
But she couldn't stop
S t o p
She told you to stop
And That it hurt
You listened to her
Slower and s l o w e r
You told her you wouldn't ever hurt her
She kissed you
And you continued on with your business
That day she gave you it all
Every single piece of her
Her innocence
Everything
And you took it like a gift
Still hugging her
Holding her hand
Like nothing had changed
Nothing

You left her in the fall
Telling her that
She could do better
She was still perfect
You still cared
But
You didn't at all
And you let her believe it
When she started crying
You walked to your car, not looking back
Needing away
But she was still there
A foolish girl in the autumn air
And she stood there
For hours
Hoping that you would change your mind

It hurt her to know
That you were breathing the same air
As her
Being happy in the same world as her
Without her in your head
Not a thought crossed your mind
No thoughts about her
How she felt
Where she was

School started
And she saw you
Walking in the hallways
Interlocked with her best friend
But she didn't cry
Nor did she hide
Because she was so emotionally detached from you
She didn't need you anymore.

Her best friend left you
But you were never alone
Still bothered by the feeling of being unloved
You had so many girls
Night after night
But
Nothing compared to loving someone who loved you back

You still loved her in the winter
White and blue
Cold as ice
The girl who liked you in the spring
And loved you in the summer
You left her in the fall
But loved her in the winter
And it was At the wrong time
On the wrong day
That she didn't want you back.
