Seasons of Love

Spring
The first rush of love, like flowers that bloom
Seeing your lover can never be to soon
Everything’s growing, nothing stands still
All thoughts are happiness, nothing of ill
The light seems longer, darkness so short
Nothings too much trouble as favours you court.
You walk down the street hand in hand
Everything’s rosy in this beautiful land
The freshness of love like the first day of Spring
Knowing only happiness the future can bring

Summer
The summer of love when all things are bright
When the newness of love keeps you up all night
No subject to boring, nothing taboo
A future you’re making just for two
The height of the summer, the hottest of heat
Where you can only win, no thoughts of defeat
A blazing passion as hot as the sun
Slowly you blend, two becomes one
There in the distance, darkness rears
The first discontent brings you to tears

Autumn
The feelings are changing, not so green and new
Tinged with colours as distrust grew
The days are much shorter, the nights so long
You search your mind for what went wrong
You spend more time sitting alone
watching the door, watching the phone
Knowing the fire you shared so long
Has dimmed and faded and nearly is gone
One more go to kindle the lust
Is greeted with caution and mistrust

Winter
No warmth in the sun, no warmth in your heart
As you stand at the door and watch love depart
your heart may be breaking but your tongue it is still
You’ve fought all you can. You no longer have the will
The darkness takes over, daylight retreats
You’ve come full circle, it’s over, complete
You sit in the cold, thoughts in your head
and climb the stairs to a lonely bed
thinking it’s over what’s done is done
again you realise that two becomes one
