for you, with the changing of leaves

i was fine before you
i wasn’t but didn’t know
i wasn’t, you know? i knew
life was a winter then you
dropped a spring in my lap
and like that it just melted
away laid bare all the hidden
love to a love and green grass
grew here and a tree, a tree!
yes, i was fine before you
i wasn’t but didn’t know
i wasn’t my winter was free
of the dream of your spring
and a tree of my own.
