Every New Summer [Poem]

Posted July 4, 2007

with every new summer comes every new lover
and with every new lover
comes every old memory of you and me
i can't stop what we started
and you can't end what we began
it isn't that i'm not over you
it's just that we had and what we'll never have again was something that cannot be reproduced.

if you'd just stop convincing yourself to keep running
if for once in your life you could stand back and take a deep breath
you'd realize that spring happens every year and nature is dependable in the sense that everything that dies in the winter will come back to life in the spring.
and like this everytime i see you fall i'm going to pick you up
and everytime i pick you up you're going to try and push me over.

i won't be the one who stays with you tonight
no i think this is the night where you're on your own
i'm sick of being your weekend girl
i'm not asking for your life, i'm asking to be a part of it
and you don't show me your heart, you show me the door.
