October Boy
I met a boy in late October
He had hair like autumn
Eyes like winter
Lips like spring
And cheeks like summer
I was in love
Or I believed I was
But in retrospect it may just have been
A young girl's conflicted obsession
With something she knew
She would never have
For he saw right through me
While I saw him in everything I did
He meant the world to me
But to him I was as insignificant as a fly
And this knowledge only made me want him
With an even fiercer desire
No other boy compared
To the angel I had created in my head
Maybe you could say I was blind
To the fact angels are rarely angels in reality
And he was no exception
My eyes opened gradually throughout the years
He dyed his hair to night
And his winter eyes froze over
Until they were solid ice
I met a boy in early July
With spring hair
And summer eyes
That taught me angels do exist
Love is more than an obsession
And ice is always capable of thawing
