Seasonal love

In the spring, I want you
Like a strawberry
Decadent, overflowing, ripe
And I'll eat you up, seeds and all
Filled with sweetness
Morning, afternoon, and night
In the summer, I want you
Like a watermelon
Cut open, juicy, stain my hands and face
In the middle of the day refresh me
I'll fill you up with liquor and take you
At night, edges dipped in salt
In the fall, I want you
Like an apple
Out in nature, in the trees
On my break or after dinner
Easy as pie, in my hand
Keep the doctor away, I want you once a day
In the winter, I want you
Like an orange
Peel off a layer before you're mine
Remind me of sweetness in the rain
Take you apart and enjoy you slowly
Start my day off right, then clean up the mess
Every day, I want you
3-5 servings per day
7 days a week
Keep it fresh, keep me satisfied
And I used to think I wasn't a fruit person.
