A clear winter night, the moon dancing over the ocean seemingly dusted with magic
The crisp air biting with nervous anticipation
May I kiss you now?
I am sorry the moon is not hanging quite right, you will need to wait as the moon and I have a special relationship
As they bid goodbye she thought maybe there is still hope
May I kiss you now?
I am sorry I am far too tired you will need to ask me when I feel more rested, perhaps try another season
Walking side by side in the park on a perfectly temperate romantic spring day
Tulips and daffodils in perfect sway the moment seemed right and the season surely better
May I kiss you now?
I caution you the spring is never the right time to make such commitments
Spring is the time for bloom, the flowers and I need our space to grow
Sitting on the beach with the summer sun warming their backs and sand romantically sticking to their souls
May I kiss you now?
Summer is the time for travel I must leave you and this place in order to feel truly free
Fall arrives with a muted grey, alone watching the fire
Breathing in the dull comfort and safety of being alone
The doorbell rings
I have finished wandering and done all that I have needed to
Can I sit beside you and watch the fire, can you ask me once more?
Before I do, answer me this
Why have you made me wait so long?
Romance is beautiful, commitment long but as the seasons pass only that of a true love will remain consistent and strong
May I kiss you now?
