cream soda smiles and

pineapple purées,

that's how we spent

those last summer days.

fall cut like a sword,

your worn-leather jacket

cradling my wounds,

drowning out the racket.

to keep warm in winter,

you heart was a warm kitchen.

cooking up love potions

and keeping me utterly smitten!

but we approached spring

with a broken weather vane.

the east wind caught us by surprise-

on our romance put strain.

bright summer smiles

like I hoped, we pulled through.

confirmed my suspicions:

I've fallen for you.
