The Nights Will Be Colder

The flowers are blooming
red and violet
placed so pristinely
on a background of green

we share a kiss in the sunlit
warmth of morning
today wasn't for you
and it wasn't for me

The colors are changing
the green fades to yellow
the nights will be colder
when you're not here

the days don't last anymore
the sun sets sooner
today wasn't for you
and it wasn't for me
