When love died, and they removed my heart,
I asked them, upon waking, Did you get it all?
I loved her, winter, spring, summer, and fall,
A memory for every type of love: I see them all.
The winter when we fell in love, it was warm,
Warm for winter, and not a storm.
When spring brings the first warmth creeping,
I see us among flowers, and then I start weeping.
When a summer rain hits the roof of my car,
Or the roof of the house when I lie in bed, there we are.
The warm kisses. I wish I remembered them all.
Our love was like a second summer in the beginning of the fall.
Winter’s coming. Oh my heart! I hope they got you all.
Otherwise I will die—of cold—in the dark and cold—that grows in the fall.
