He was a Flower and She was Winter. (05/01/19)

He liked to play with her hair

But she liked to tie it up.

—

He liked peace and quiet

But she went out to party.

—

He compared himself to nothing

And she compared herself to royalty.

—

She held grudges

While he ignored them.

—

He drank hot chocolate

And she drank whiskey.

—

He found his worth in her

And so did she.

—

And while they admired each other, it was never meant to be love.

Because he hadn’t found love in himself

And she hadn’t found tolerance for that.

Because he was a flower,

And she was winter.
