We love like snow powdering the morning;
it’s lovely, but it’s cold and no one wants to go outside.
We love like the sun during a heat advisory;
too much of a good thing kills off everything we worked so hard for.
We love like a fallen tree that once stood so tall;
by that I mean, we live in the past and are too proud to admit our defeats.
We love like a river closing over our heads;
we won’t admit it, but we stopped gasping for breath long ago,
we gave up on this love and have only ourselves to blame.
