To Winter

Hello good friend!
You were the first one I met in this world
and the greatest companion.
You may have made me shiver
but oh my,
it was worth it when I felt warm at the sight
of different shades of
whites, grays, and faded blues.
When I saw the fallen trees
sprinkled with ice.
I love you, Winter,
for showing me beauty in simplicity,
perfection in ease,
loveliness in purity.

A Secret Affair

I met someone so perfect for me.
So sweet, and funny, and smart.
He knew so much about the universe,
and he quickly attracted my heart.

The first meetings were innocent,
two new people befriending.
Each day we spent together
had an unfortunate ending.
 
So much changed when I learned
he was not alone,
but I still got excited
to see his name appear in my phone.
 
We were swimming somewhere dangerous,
we knew that it was bad.
We could not quite stop
embracing the opportunities we had.
 
Then he brought me somewhere beautiful - 
the greatest view.
Melting in closeness,
I was afraid of what we would do.
 
We were drowning in temptation,
and it just happened so quickly.
I will never forget the moment
when I shared with him completely.

It took some convincing,
a short little fight.
I was going back and forth - 
YOLO... right?
 
But then everything went wrong.
Time and space were bending.
Our newly formed friendship
had an unfortunate ending.
 
His feelings changed
just like a boy.
It is always the players
and I am just the toy.

My decisions really shook me.
I felt as if I was spiraling down a black hole.
This feeling reminded me
of how I have never felt whole.

My mistakes linger in the stars.
I look up and lose my breath.
The time short lived with him
I should have known would end in death.

Everywhere I go
he is in everything I see,
not because of love
but because he is haunting me.
