summer

Come to me in winter

because I know you'll leave by summer

Come to me in the rain

because I know you won't last forever

Make me some million promises

because I know we'll break each other

Come to me in October

because I'll be dead for you by September:

Come to me in the rivers

because we'll be parting in the oceans

Take your time, arriving

because I know you'll be asking to leave sooner

Try sticking to that morning sun

because we'll be crying by eleven'

Come to me in scents

because I know you'll be leaving like a poison:

Don't come to me in whites

because we won't be leaving in colors

Come to me in rainbows

because I'll be blinded by summer

Come to me a little bluer

because I know you'll fade like sailors

Come to me in winter

because I know you'll leave by summer.
