The calendar tells us springtime begins in late March. However, some people think spring begins in late April or early May and that it lasts until early to mid-June; because in regions where four seasons occur, mild to warm weather used to arrive and settle in during these months. But with the way Climate Change has been affecting the weather in recent years, no one has been able to predict spring's exact arrival month or how long it will last before we're plunged into hot, hazy summer weather.
Whenever spring has arrived and settled in, however, many people's thoughts have turned to romance or perhaps to a love affair. The love affair could be with a favorite place or with a person, or it could be with both simultaneously. One’s thoughts might even turn to an ended affair and how wonderful it was while it lasted.
As most people know, a person's love affair with a favorite city is described in the song “April in Paris.”An affair with a beautiful person in a beautiful city is considered in the poem titled "April in Paris;" which is included in the poetry books, The Sound of Dreams Remembered and Something about the Blues. Both books are by African American novelist, essayist, and poet Al Young.
An ended love affair is described in the song “I’ll Remember April,” as its lyricists (Patricia Johnston and Don Raye)
convey the beauty of April and the loveliness of the affair experienced during that month. The song, composed by Gene de Paul, also speaks of the contentment and gratefulness the lover feels for having had the affair at all.
