Still you are here

Summer

Autumn

Winter

Spring

And still you are here

With no intention to ever leave

Visiting me from time to time didn’t seem to be enough

So you decided to conquer me

How come I didn’t even notice it?

How come you were able to capture me so easily?

And now

Slowly, very slowly

You’re walking around just like when people visit a place for the first time

Wanting to see and smell every inch of it

Taking pictures to capture its beauty

I should have built a stronger gate

Or perhaps a larger defence wall

to keep you from entering

But now it’s too late

Each and every brain cell seems to be filled with your presence already

Summer

Autumn

Winter

Spring

And still you are here

In every corner of my mind

With no intention to leave
