Spring Winter Spring

I didn’t feel for you like I do now
When spring of twenty-twenty split our lives.
I didn’t, even once, imagine how
You’d count the days ’til you could see my eyes.

I did, when winter came, allow my heart
To dive right into you and all you are.
I did, with you, forget our days apart
Because I knew you’d never remain far.

I still enjoy the feel of your soft kiss
Exactly as I did beneath that tree.
I still will hold to hope I’ll never miss
A single wink between just you and me.

As budding trees again bloom pink with spring,
I promise you’re the one to whom I’ll cling.
