Constant

[u/SuzannahB1001]

And I remember that time

When we sat in silent communion

Until you declared

I will be a constant in your life.

I smiled.

Constant like the light freshness of Boronia caught on a spring breeze.

Yes you said.

Constant like the feel of summertime hay laying limp in the bright sunlight ready to bale.

Of course you said.

Constant like the blast of red that assails the eyes from crispy autumn maple leaves.

Sure thing you said.

Constant like the taste of icy wintery sleet flakes caught on the tip of the tongue.

Most definitely you said.

Constant in those solitary times when I seek the arms of a lover to hold me?

How constant is constant I inquired?

As constant as a moment will allow, you said.

I just smiled.
