Winter Melts to Spring

By Hime Neko

In a world filled with color

And butterfly wings

There was a bright pink beauty

Called the Child of Spring

Though most knew him as

The bright pink ditz

For his childish tantrums

And sudden crying fits

To one child of Winter

He was known as so much more

The only one willing and able

To stand his freezing core

A visually unlikely pair was this Winter and his Spring

But Spring gave Winter what he was missing

And Winter gave Spring a song to sing

How truly special Spring was

Winter would never show

Too afraid of destroying something beautiful

To let his love openly flow

Spring set out to make a warm Summer

Or at least a cool Fall

Winter would be much happier in the end

He was very sure of it all.

But in the end it all backfired

Turning out not quite as planed

The games made Winter tired

So he took Spring by the hand

"Would you really wish to change me?

Do you not like me for who I am?

I love you for you; you should love me for me

Because that's what will truly count in the end."

Of course the Spring loved his Winter

He told him everyday how he felt

He just wanted him to be happy

And for some of the ice in his heart to melt

Maybe he will never

Be Summer, Fall or Spring

But possibly a much warmer Winter

This child could bring.
