She was like sunflowers
Always with her face towards the sun
Big, green glasses protecting her brown eyes
We drive in the car
I look over at her, she doesn’t notice me
I wonder if she ever did notice the way I would look at her
After all, she told me it was unsuspected
I told her I loved her in January
She made those darkest days of winter feel like the depths of summer,
Until she didn’t.
I was always told to expect the worst,
I guess I should’ve listened
What was one to assume when you spent everyday together
People had their assumptions about us,
Hell, I thought the same things
But I guess it was too good to be true
I told her I loved her in January
If only she had saved enough of her love for me
