Spring Lover's Song

On the day that Spring would start,
You had gotten to my heart.
We were more than friends.
And we would be until the end.
You are so loyal to me.
Your friends can not see what you see.
For we had a love that was forbidden.
So we kept it hidden.
I run,you hide.
Until dark outside.
Going somewhere we could love in peace.
You stayed by my side, even when troubles wouldn't cease.
Summer came so sweetly.
And its sun had shone so neatly.
Together for an eternity!
Our fraternity.
Brown and orange of the leaves.
That is what of Fall that the world receives.
A hero deeply loved a thief.
That to others was but grief.
So they chased us to And fro.
Even deep in winter's snow.
And when Spring returned its call,I had to answer for it all.
They wanted me,not you.
You didn't want to give me up,but you know that was true.
Don't worry I will be ok.
Blossom trees grow petals on Spring day.
My absence grew your tears.
Our separation was your fear.
Blossom petals blew in the air.
And soon you knew what to do without A care.
A cliff where we would meet.
You ran there as fast as you could,but I couldn't be beat.
Like blossoms to trees,I must depart.
So that things may soon restart.
You knew that for your sake,it was best this way.
But your heart started to decay.
I gave you a memory of me.
It was your gift,it was the key.
If you let me go,I'll wait for you.
You'll always be here after what we've been through.
Look at us as a way to remind.
That we are the children who left Spring behind. 
I climbed the rainbow and saw a smile on your face.
Goodbye my love,then gone without a trace.
Just like the rainbow you earned.
I'm gone so fast but I'm free at last.
I promise I'll return.
