my love, you change like the seasons!

your spring is cool, laid back and easy. the scent from your budding flowers fills me up as i cuddle
up underneath your blanket of warm grass. ladybugs tickle me as crickets sing me to sleep. is this
what it was like in your womb? i can't remember...

summer is just too damn hot! but i take it like a woman. i strip down to my first suit, slide on my
shades and stand right in front of your sun until i am black as Africa! it hurts sometimes but i don't
stop. i know your heat will cleanse me. i always feel born again after being with you...

in fall you are beautiful! all decked out like Joseph in your "leaves of many colors". you blow me
a kiss and it is crisp and bracing and makes me hungry. i feel like sitting on our front porch and
just watching you dance around the lawn, twirling around in that coat. i eat the warm stew you
made me and i think about how nice it is to be loved by you...

winter is when you are at your sweetest. you make me hot tea, just the way i like it, lot's of lemon
and brown sugar. let's go outside you say. what? it's 20 degrees out there! but you pull me to the
door and we run across the icy ground. your laughter blows straight through me, catching me off
guard, like a draft right up my wool skirt and across my naked thighs. i am freezing but i will do
anything to be with you. we run until we are out of breath and then we sit on that cold ground and
hold hands. we say, "I Love You" at the same time...

my love for you is the only thing that will never change!
