Spring

Spring, here you come, like an old friend
Still as colourful as I remember you
I want to declare my undying love
But I know you won’t stay, you never do
Caress me, let me breathe you in
But leave no marks on me
I am not yours if you are not mine
Your love engulfs me but makes no promise to stay
How long must I chase you from forest to forest?
And though you keep your vow to always return
I want a love that never leaves
