summer.

[freewrite]

i didn't know the year would reach our encounter
this way
but he reminds me of summer...

even though he was entirely unexpected
unpredictable at best
and unlike anything else i've experience before
or asked for myself
or believed i've ever deserved
he was as simple as sunlight
unmistakable and nothing else could replace
as clear and distinct like the new day

and what would become of our emotions
was like the break of dawn
the newness brought me back
to the past i've always wanted for myself
nostalgic of fairytales that i never could say happened
but after all
he was my ever after
and happily i greeted each new dawn
with arms wide open
ready for any change of season
just as long as it was he
that broke the dawn into my future

it's hard for me to explain exactly what i mean
what i'm feeling about him
after all those years of waiting
i'm happy, after all --
he's my happily ever after

and so after all the rain
the storms and the cold nights
so it makes so much sense now...
i see why after all this time
...only he reminds me of summer
