new love after a season of heartbreak
is like spring again after an eternal winter
a frost you knew would last a long time
but still anticipated with the fall
you remain unsure if you were blinded by the attention or of actual desire
a one way mirror will only last for so long before shattering
as the changing of the leaves reassured you of your inescapable nearing heartbreak
each auspicious puddle a reminder of the approaching cold
you accepted the risk of last summer
because not every seed you plant is guaranteed to sprout
the reflection you soak up in the tiny pools on the ground
only last a millisecond before you stomp down
they hold the memory of what you should strive to recover to in the spring
after your soul thaws from the freeze of the sadness you force yourself to accept
soak up one last look and jump,
splashing and scattering the doubts you know are true
but you walk along without turning back
is that brave or cowardly to do?
the little voice inside of your head warned you about this
yet as winter hasnโt even officially begun
youโve pulled yourself out
your replenished heart melts the snowflakes before they even hit the ground
maybe you werenโt right all along
and the shadow of doubt and
fear of regret that still roots in your guilty veins
wasnโt right all along
maybe the winter you expected was only a storm that finally blew over
because the universe knows much better than you do
that your winter wasnโt supposed to come after this particular summer
because you deserve a true summer with a sun that isnโt afraid to shine
this new flower is different
patient
it doesnโt need a confession to catalyze a blossom
it doesnโt need excessive persuasion to flower
it doesnโt ask for help to make its root
it just simply does. and that felt more right than summer itself
but you donโt question the seasons
