~A Long Seasons' Wait~

It's that time again. The spring. While most other boys and girls enjoy this season, I can't bring myself to enjoy it.

Because, he isn't around...

I remember him vividly. The boy, in the snow. He's only around here, in the Winter. He comes, when the first fallen snowflake, lands on a blade of grass. As if by magick, he appears.

His hair, almost blending in with the flurry. He held these vibrant, lime green eyes, that reflected the sparkle of the snow. He was always dressed, in the same attire. All in all, he was a strange kid.

The boy, has come around every winter- since I was four. I am sixteen now, so it's been a very long time. I never, ever miss him. Mostly because, of a power he holds.

No, not a literal magicks- though, he may possess some form of it. But, by power, I mean the impact he holds. The boy, manages to bring a smile, upon any face he passes by. His optimism, is just so influential.

I guess, that's what I've always admired about that boy. He could do, what many have tried so hard to do- and failed. It was strange, how life works like that. You try, and try...but in the end, was it all truly worth it? Was your destination achieved?

In some cases, yes.

In my case, no...

But, the winter time is different. After the long summer's wait, he would change my thoughts. He infected me, with his curse. A good curse, yes. But, still a curse, nonetheless. And, looking back now, I'm not sure if it was always the greatest thing...

Not one person, can hold so much joy. Doesn't he ever feel other emotions? Maybe, that's what the other seasons are for?

Maybe, sorrow in the spring- to match the sky's tears. Anger in the summer, as passionate and fierce as the sweltering sunlight. And, perhaps in Autumn, maybe fear? The fear, that you won't be able, to feel again?

Perhaps, I'm thinking too much into this. Or, maybe not. Overthinking, can be a bad thing at times, but...it can also help you learn. Oh, how I yearn to get over this feeling. Just to see, the Boy of Snow, once again.

Summer, has come once more. School is out, and most are happy. Yet, I am standing in pure distress. What if, he doesn't come back? What am I to do? The Boy of Snow, is all I have left...

It's Autumn, now. But, I am left afraid. He is all that I look forward to, in my long year's wait. He's the only thing that can make me smile, anymore. He, is my only friend...

At long last, Winter has come. And, what do I spot? The first fallen snowflake...

I watch as it dances in the sky, with careful eyes. Time seems to slow, as my impatience grows. Once it reaches the ground, happiness will return...I've waited far too long.

But, the snowflake never reached the ground. It melted, in mid-air. As if it wanted to taunt me. To mess with my already shattered emotions.

Here goes the cycle again. Spring. Summer. Autumn. And, the Winter that never comes. He'll never return.

And every year, I am left to endure this fate. Of The Long Season's Wait.
