A TIME IN OUR LIVES

There was a moment in my life when I met a girl

It was brief, it was quick, but liberating

She’s like summer in the middle of winter.

She’s like spring, while waiting for autumn to end.

She’s like a Morse code, I try to decode.

She calmed my raging heart,

grounded me when I lost control.

She put pastel colors in my monochromatic world.

She came in like a destructive storm,

Tore my walls, left me vulnerable

Then she left like a sneaky cat, in the dead of the night

Steady and quiet.

Now, I’m quivering. Cold and lost.

Where is she? The girl who smelled like strawberry and cinnamon.

My spring, my summer.

What wouldn’t I give, to get back to that moment in our lives,

When I still had her by my side.
