Withering In Darkness

A person awaits their true love, dreaming of them throughout the four seasons, like a single, gradually withering rose.

Winter arrived

Along with his frost-bitten chills

Reminding me of shivers I get with you

The snow flakes plummeted from the sky

I dreamed of how you longed to fly

But always feared falling

Alas, Spring came

Along with her vibrancy

Reminding me of your rosy cheeks when we giggle

The snow caps melted

I dreamed of when tears flowed from you eyes

Yet my heart always mended yours

We were welcomed by Summer's long days

Along with her sun's golden rays

Reminding me of your vibrant personality

The sky became a brilliant blue

I dreamed of your intelligent, yet mysterious cerulean eyes

How you would always shade their beauty

In no time at all, we were visited by Autumn

Along with her golden leaves

Reminding me of your flowing blonde hair

The foliage fell down

I dreamed of falling with them

Just so you could catch me

The years have passed by

Along with their rewards

Reminding me of your kind qualities

The mountains have weathered

I dreamed how you made my heart feel light as a feather

Yet still I wait outside the door to you

Like a rose, slowly withering in darkness

Author's Note

I'm not great with poems. I can't seem to make them flow properly, but I hope you still enjoyed reading anyway. No, this isn't about anyone in particular. I just felt as though I should combine the beauty of love and nature.
