Weather

Can you hear
The smile of love.
When you are apart
The aching of your heart
Is
Much greater than being together.
But it's taken for granted
Like the weather.

Can you hear
The ultimate beauty of love.
Feelings take a lifetime to accrue.
Yet me and you
Were counted out
In seconds.
Like a boxer
By an unexpected blow.
You were my kitten.
I was your beau.
Suspended
At the end of our tether.
Summer fades.
To inclement weather.
