I met a girl when it was partially cloudy
She was beautiful
We did everything you'd only dream of
I stayed up at night to wait for a new day with her
When we were together we were alone, together
And though clouds painted the world grey, it only emphasized her vibrancy
We loved with vendetta against unhappiness and remorse
I guess eventually that wasn't enough
Because happiness left her eyes as clouds would leave the sky and soon I left her
I met a girl when it was sunny
She was bright, and fun, and full of opinions
It wasn't love, but it was a close second
We spent the better part of my first summer together, I'd visit her every day
She never talked as much as she'd have liked to, we said more in bed than we did out
A minute with her was never a minute wasted
So those minutes turned to hours and hours turned to days and days turned to weeks
Until I had to leave. and I guess I was gone for too long
Because when I returned she'd already found her sky
That summer I met depression when it was rainy
I met a girl when it was windy
I was her, and she was me
We blew past the phases of friendship and fell into love
She was the better part of everything I'd ever wanted, everything we did was unorthodox
The love we had traveled the winds into my second summer
She brought thrill, and excitement
Excitement I couldn't wait to share with my friends
Because there was no one like her, except for me
And I'd never liked myself so I can understand why there were times I didn't like her
So I left
And my friends took a liking to her
Some, more than others
When I'd found my way back whatever we had was lost in a dust of nostalgia
And I missed her, like I imagine the summer misses the winter between season changes
It's Autumn now
I tried changing with the trees, but I couldn't
Some days are warm, but most are cold
Nights are darker and the days aren't remembered
My thoughts are filled with things God would turn his head too
But none of these relationships were failures
A failure would have been to not have loved at all
