A Change of Seasons

(circa February 2002)

In a different time
when the sun shone bright
in clear blue skies
And flowers started to poke their eyes
from the cold earth
with life again

When the birds returned
to sing their happy melodies
in the glistening of the morning dew
I would see you
and you're face would light up
in a way that let me know
I was more than just a friend

But seasons change
Now that same sun hides
her face behind clouds of grey
And all the flowers are nestled away
under the dead dirt
without a trace

Now that its too cold
for the birds to sing of happy times
amongst this frozen sea
You see me
and try to force a smile
in a way that lets me know
that I have been replaced
