I Wish I Were An Evergreen

I am a tree constantly shedding its leaves
Losing the people that make me feel whole and complete
And becoming naked in the winter time
They fall away from my body and turn to dust at my feet
And next year around new ones take their place
Fresh and green and full of new life....

How I wish that I were evergreen
So that the people that I loved and cared about
Would always stay close
