winter words and cold feet
i pretended i was okay
pink knitted scarf wrapped around my fragile shoulders
missing your soft hand in mine
spring renewal and tousled hair
i pretended i was fine
gray converse fit snugly on my feet
missing your eyes when you looked at me
summer freedom and sunnier skies
i thought i was okay
denim cut-offs and dirty flipflops left poolside
missing your beaming smile, just like the sun
autumn breaths and back to school
i knew i wasn't fine
number two pencils, held in shaking hands
missing your thoughts, you let them be known
winter words and cold feet
i pretended i was okay
new red scarf wrapped around my fragile shoulders
and the cycle repeats again
