would you look at that
november's finally come
though the wait wasn't long
not too long
time hasn't been the same since march
winter never left yet
here we are again
the trees are bare
they're cold and bare
spring didn't dream
yet it didn't even wake up to start
your smile was warm
you were so warm
i haven't been outside in so long
but you made the snow
melt away
and the sun really seemed to shine
i'm stuck inside
more or less
a token of mercy accompanied
by the word essential
all i see all day are walls—
windowed and windowless
of all colours and heights
it was supposed to be
just a couple of days
a few weeks,
three months
it's almost been a year
time stopped in march, but trudged on without us
but you were warmth
made of warmth
your very smile
lit up my room
or maybe it was
the screen of my phone while we talked and talked
november's here
would you look at that
look at that
i've never felt this cold
i travelled from winter
to autumn, in the blink of an eye
what happened to the months in between?
look at that
the sun never did shine
while you were here
it was just you all along, all along
it's not that time was merciless
and i lost my summer
you just took it from me
