i once know a girl named june

and one july she waved goodbye

i remember finding her curled up on an old box spring

she said

“i'm gonna make mistakes, I just hope you notice”

i once spoke to a girl named summer

and one fall she stood so tall

she found some confidence and some wings 

and she flew away

she sang

“you can't hold me down any longer”

what a beautiful song it was

i once love a girl named rose

and one sunny day she began to wither

so she took a dip in the pool and felt restored

she said

“i hate these thorns”

so she cried

“one day i'll be beautiful and one day you'll love me”

but i already do
