The sun is setting on this spring of mine
And rising in your time of fall
My heart aches
Knowing that you have grown beyond my vines
And seeing your blossoms fade away
To a cool evening breeze

You were once a blazing summer
When I was a budding flower
And how I yearned to be where you were
I idolized your every move
And praised the ground you walked upon
You moved with such delicate steps
Because you feared failure
And Rejection
You were blinding and awe inspiring
And there I was, small and struggling
Hoping to bloom and draw your eye
In a flourish of color and flair

But you began to change
And your touch turned cold upon me
I knew I was too late
Your seasons began to change without me
And by the time my spring had ended
You were nowhere to be found
I was left alone
Wilting and anguished from the pain

Sorrow turned to anger
Anger turned to angst
Angst turned to a glistening light I never knew I had
I have bloomed into what I thought
Would make you stay
But here I stand alone in the garden
The warm breeze and lush grasses
The next season of my life
I should be smiling through every turn
But it just isn't the same

You had watched me grow
You pruned the thorns
And held me up when storms knocked me down
You nurtured a broken spirit
And humored me more than you should have
I just wanted someone to love your light the way I did
And in the end I stand without it
Without you
Facing this long summer alone
As your season changed without me
When I worked so hard to change mine
For you
