september had a smile that stood out for miles
and lips that embraced my own better
than any man's could

september had the eyes that i could gaze at for years
and wonder what went through her mind
when she got home

september was brown
a messy bun
braces
freckles
and a dancer's body

autumn leaves fell
and winter came

february lived across the states and rivers
where the nights were vibrant and big
and her thoughts were pitch

february loved the flowers that came across her
and my interest sparked for all of hers
because it was never permanent

february was black
loud music
jackets
cold air
and the softest eyes

and out of february
may bloomed

may is staring at me from across a dance floor
a smile on an face that leads the action
may is soft inside

may is planting a garden and uncovering secrets
a deeper connection, and the first that goes
beyond the simple love

may is green
summer
roses
red lips
and the brightest smiles
