Dear Spring,
I should begin with the usual "Welcome Back" routine and "How wonderful to have you" quotations. Truth be told, you are more than welcome to stay and it is wonderful to have you indeed, but Spring...you are rather late for us.
You finally arrived with all that beauty that follows you. It hasn't been too long since the day that sun started shining as much, the heat became even more and just a light breeze has remained in the air to remind us the previous season which was a mixture of autumn and winter.
I admit it...This is beautiful, even for those who live in Germany such as myself. We consider ourselves lucky for having such a weather and do our best on spending even more time outside in parks, gardens, the streets even and downtown by the Rhine along with you. Neverthless, it is not as easy as some would think. I wake up everyday and for a few hours, I am in that list of the lucky ones, spending time with friends, laughing and enjoying your own company and that warmth...until I find myself back, trapped in my room. I am studying!!! I am burried under books, papers, notebooks and homework for the next day while you torture me!
In my humble opinion, that is the most unfair thing to do to somebody, torture them that is. But hey...one can only hope, brace themselves, face their problems and move on, right? I am, currently, in the state of hoping and trying... Some more weeks...only a few...
Nonetheless, I should thank you for arriving, for bringing new life to this world and making people smile even more often. Don't get me wrong...I love winter itself but I have my own limits against the cold and the every day rain that becomes dull after a while. Therefore....I thank you Springtime for everything and please, do stay and last a bit longer so I, myself, can enjoy you at last!
Sincerely,
Your fan.
