SOMETIMES

Sometimes 
I look out of the window 
Straight into my longing heart 
See the lengthening shadows 
My world, splitting into parts. 

I fall in love with winter snows 
Their reflections shine with joys 
Your laughter I strain to hear 
And the mischief in your voice. 

I see the springtime often 
Flowers scenting my nights 
A beloved face smiling at me 
Eyes brimming, my heart ignites. 

I yearn for a dance in the summer rain 
Hear leaves whispering to autumn, too 
My spirits can’t hold up for long, I crumple
No memories here belong to you. 

I look and look till the shadows 
Merge with the darkened days 
All that's left of me and you 
Still haunts me in myriad ways. 
Sometimes is a long time sometimes.
