When December Meets October
To Alyssa
I am an October girl
She
A child of December
I could only know
As far as I can remember
That even though out first meeting
Was far from a happy greeting
It was a friendly love at first sight
Because I knew
And her heart did too
I can call her any night
Knowing of her name
A title just the same
That defines happiness and joy
Despite her sadness due to boys
I always knew I was her flower
That always gave her the little power
To stand for herself
Without needing more help
It was her I became to grow fond on
Something we had a bond of
Blowing my life into spring
I had counted down our days
Until we would grow apart
And watch as our love would give way
She stuck around
Some silent
Some loud
And never kicked me off
I knew right there
When I was scared
She would carry me up
December is a chilly breeze
That tickles at your soul
A gentle touch
That is enough
To never let her go
I so October
A falling leaf
As I roll over
To meet my dearest December
I have loved the cold as long as I can remember
