Wintersun

In the beginning of this entity known as 'us',
when you were still but a fascinating mystery
little by little, the soul you opened up for me
brought a spring to my life;
your laughter was the first sparrow's flight,
your whisper the southern breeze
your smile a sprouting daffodil
and your touch
a heatstroke I craved for,
I basked in it – forgetting,
that seasons change because they must

Became summer, became autumn

and now that the house you live in
has grown watertusks on its eaves
you've become the Wintersun
and I am the Earth that revolves around you
on this elliptical track I was placed on
I'm further apart from you than ever before
between us the light-years that no longer carry your warmth

and days that shrink
until they no longer exist
