‘comes around ‘cause I let it,
encourage it, nurture it, wait for
this time of year, breathing in the air,
and the feeling that maybe now
maybe now, the time is right
or at least better, feeling
stronger, with stronger feelings
and thinking maybe now
I won’t be waiting, maybe now
our time aligns, the way I’ve
envisioned it, for a long while
from the long ago beginning, even when
I knew it wasn’t possible, then even
when it wasn’t likely, still stubbornly
believing in a someday, which now
and once again, like you, has failed
to come around to me.
