Villanelle: Now that Summer is Near

[ReyvrexQuestor Reyes]

She thinks of me, I swear
For that, she would have done
Now that Summer is near

Her note has made it clear
That I am still the one
She thinks of me, I swear

It's now almost a year
Since when those days were gone
Now that Summer is near

But memories so dear
Can cling to times bygone
She thinks of me, I swear

A short wait now to bear
To lie soon in the sun
Now that Summer is near

A little more to bear
For life to have begun
She thinks of me, I swear
Now that Summer is near.
