Spring Melts Snow

by gabriel   Jan 9, 2007


I stare right into your eyes
Your gaze keeps me paralyzed
Wonder if you'll ever know
Why spring always melts the snow

You wonder how I feel
I ask, "Is this real?"
You walk away with a puzzled face
Think I'm a little crazed

But I'm more than insane
Suffering from a hidden pain
It eats into my very soul
Quite incomplete on the whole

Every time when you're around
My eyes are staring on the ground
Whenever there is a chance
Secretly I'll steal a glance

Yet I had this funny feeling
You treated me like I wasn't a being
Somehow I guess you never knew
I always had my eyes on you

I guess I could never compare
This life seems just so unfair
You had everything and everyone
I only wanted you but I had none

I still remember last Valentine
When I wanted you to be mine
Eight months I slogged two jobs a day
Just for a thousand roses by the bay

February fourteen finally came by
Relief came till I could nearly cry
When you got there you seemed amazed
I saw 'touched' written on your face

Everything changed when I came out
You went into a frenzy and nearly shout
"Just what's the meaning of this?"
Before I answered you left, looking pissed

Even now I wonder what I did wrong
Was I so despicable all along?
The next day you treated me like before
There was no mention of flowers, nothing more

When I was a little boy
Playing around with plastic toys
One winter I watch snow fell
Covering the entire farm and dell

The weather felt just so cold
Mama said the sun had lost it's soul
A few months later on a new morn
Spring would come with the sun reborn

One day Mama caught me tearing
She sat down beside and started asking
I told her about my love for you
And how I didn't know what to do

Listening patiently she finally said
"Time to move on. Get up from your bed
You have a heart warm like spring
Hers is frozen solid, like an ice queen's"

Mama's words were sensible and wise
But they weren't good enough a disguise
For no matter how torn my broken heart
The ice queen has a special place in my heart

I still stare into your eyes
The look that keeps me paralyzed
Maybe one day you'll know
Why Spring always melts the snow
