Undefined 8/8

A rough cut of song lyrics I was inspired to write.

Branches dripped with icicles
Holding up a fort all around us
And I swear, I've never felt so alive
as when I wiped away your tears.
And when the storm died
and the snowflakes began to clear
The streetlights dimmed around us
and the dawn began to near.

Well these December/May romances
They never seem to last
But you've been there through the seasons
And the feeling never passed.

Months have gone by
and summer's coming to a close
But being away from you
Is something I never chose.
And when the anger starts to fade
And my eyes squint to a close
I can just make out your body in the shade.

Well these December/May romances
They never seem to last
But you've been there through the seasons
And the feeling never passed.

And I'm standing here
On the edge of winter again
The leaves falling all around me
As I dream of my old friend.
Well, your feelings seem to cool
just like the air in the autumn
But I never thought I'd be a fool,
or be the one forgotten.

Well, these December/May romances,
they never seem to work.
But for just two seconds,
they take away the hurt.
And the rain will bring healing
and a feeling I thought I'd lost,
But when it pounds against the ceiling,
I think of finding you again, finding you at any cost.

And when spring unfolds again
And I can't seem to keep from crying
I look around me and I know that you weren't lying.

Well, these May/December romances,
they never seem to last
But the moments that we shared
were just a thing of the past.
Because seasons will change,
and the weather moves so fast
But my feelings never change
and my love will stay steadfast.

You know these December/May romances
never really do last.
