Spring,  the new girl in my life

I while back, my "friend" Summer left
I took it quite hard,
I thought we were more than friends,
but ultimately, I had to let her go if I valued our friendship.

After Summer left, It's not like I didn't explore the other seasons, Autumn, for one, was stoked to have all of my attention once again. However brief and exciting our relationship was, she knew she was only there to console me after Summer's abrupt departure and the arrival of that bitch, Winter.

Autumn always picks up my spirits with her beautiful fall colors and wonderful scents.  But alas,  Autumn just can't commit, too much wind, rain, and a little too cool.  She's always late and gets pushed out as soon as Winter arrives.

Winter on the other hand is ice cold and tough as nails.  But underneath, she warms my heart, making those romantic evenings in front of a cozy fireplace feel so good.  She's active if you can embrace her freezing temperatures and snow.  But as Winter's stay starts to get long, her luster begins to melt, leaving nothing but a pool of tears and mixed feelings for good old Spring to deal with.

A lot of people misunderstand Spring.  Spring is actually my old soul, always there to pick up the fractured pieces of my heart that Winter left behind.  I look forward to Spring entering my life again, especially after the long tough time I've had dealing with Winter.  But sadly she's just transitory, and only sticks around until that superstar Summer arrives.  

I feel guilty when Summer knocks on the door, takes credit for the sun, the flowers, and the heat I now feel.  I know that Spring started it all, but OMG is summer ever Hot!!!

So, it's with melancholy that I kiss Winter goodbye (on the cheek) and smile,  Spring is back in my life, and I couldn't be happier.
