I had never known before now
How giving up could be the opposite of giving in
I never understood before this
Miss, that sometimes you miss to find bliss
I had never before seen April as an end,
Friend, to what the beginning might have been
I had never before this final thaw
Saw how the melting away of what’s frozen over can free
I had never until this truly let go
Though, of everything I didn’t know
I had never until I lost this painful stunt-
I don’t want- Found that I never wanted this after all
I never before had realized all at once so much-
The touch- I’d lost can be found again
I never before had realized what I knew-
You- are making me out of my mind and that’s fine
I have never been so unsure about it all
I fall and let myself sense the wind hitting my back
I never need be unsure about the spring
Bring me this ending and blooming I’ll sing
I have never taken time to tell April goodbye-
Why?- As one bloom closes another reaches for the sky
I have told April goodbye now that it’s May
Today- Yes, today- I can feel that it’s May
