Lightweight Jacket

After three months I see you again,
old friend, hanging around.
I get you off the hook and we
go out together, for drinks, dinner,
a walk to the store in twilight’s new warmth.
You’ve always been steady, by my side
in rain or shine; you’ve got my back.

As the season’s turn and our love for each other
wans and waxes, I hope I never lose you.
