Summer is just around the corner
Winters melting into Spring
Holding on with an odd air of laziness
As though the sun just can’t be bothered to set anymore

Sun is warming pavement again
And warming hearts as teenage love gets into full swing
Laughing and giddy,
Tugging at shirt sleeves and skirt hems
Never further than a quick kiss
Before the sky starts falling

He has baby blue eyes
Head over heels for the girl next door
She’s fascinated by the way the clouds race across the sky
And he’s happy just to watch
Pulses racing as she gazes skywards,
Heart exploding when she smiles

Not a sad smile,
Never a sad smile
But one that echoes of loneliness

He has baby blue eyes
That reflect an image that isn’t his
The way she sighs, so soft and small
As though Spring is just another season
And love is just another way to bruise your soul

Lips pressed lifelessly against cold cheeks
Intermingled with the salty taste of tears,
She skips away, a well worn path
And whistles her favourite tune
A sad song
Of farewells and goodbyes

He has baby blue eyes
That reflect a loneliness that wasn’t always his
A memory of all that’s passed
A million Summers of broken hearts
When I first wrote this, it didn't mean much to me.

It has a whole new meaning now.
