Your Season

How the winter fiercely returns
So I've seen it before
And how the sun burns
Just as bright but not as warm
So I've felt this before

And I realize how
To remember is not nearly
Enough
To remind the heart
What it was without

So I come closer
To know why those streets
And those faint memories

And why I once stubbornly
Clenched to our
Scentful memoirs in misery

A time when they were still
Surviving fiercely in my seasons

And that was a time
When I had felt you
More than I can ever
Recognise you

Because I had loved you
More than I can ever
Understand you.
