like rivers to the seas

Sequel to rivers. I warned him, didn't I?
Too bad for him, he didn't listen. ;-)

i walked in autumn leaves on a brisk all-hallows' eve
the north wind cut through my soul
as surely as the words you'd spoken
and as i prepared for winter
i packed away my heart's desires
along with my summer clothes

no tarot card foretold
a taken chance would end so horribly
all i ever wanted was sunshine
and the ninety-degree-plus heat of our love
but reality's knife murdered my dream

old man winter froze your mind, glazed your eyes,
and encased your once-trusting heart in ice
and so i run from you like the rivers to the seas
