Original Submission by Keone Moss

The summer rain hurts,it hurts because as each one passes winter slowly

approaches. Its not her fault that shes cold,its in her nature but why do I dislike her so much.

"Why do I dislike her cool toned skin?" I ask the sun as it moves away from me. "Why do I like summer more?" I ask the winter

wind as she embraces me for the next 3

months.

Winter is just misunderstood. Shes cold but shes important, we need her, we feel her, we don't credit her enough.

She's the women who's always there but she's never seen. The girl next door who doesn't measure up to the girl who lives down the road. Maybe in the next lifetime maybe in the next year I'll try again. I'll try to love you. I'll love your silvers and your

greys. But right now I'm just not ready.

You're too much.
