Only For a Season

I'm leaving you, 
but only for a season.
Against my own heart
have I committed treason.

You are the sun
that shines upon my soul...
The fire that provides 
warmth for me in the cold.

You are the rain 
that stimulates my growth...
The wind that moves my 
waves about the ocean's coast.

However, our time together has drawn nigh
It's only fair that to you I say, "Good-bye."
All good things must come to end, within reason...
But my leave of absence is only for a season.

You are the beat fitting perfectly
to the rhythm of my heart.
Your hands work deftly,
coinciding with my body's every part.

Your lips are my dessert,
revealing to me naughty secrets.
But your eyes the most inert,
Mystery defined in discreetness.

We are destiny's offspring,
the couple of which love beckons.
But as the song of departure I sing,
Remember it's only for a season.
