With iambic pentameter in a sort of extended sonnet form, this is a pretty strong contest competitor and will likely resonate with a lot of folks. The meter is mostly pretty consistent, with a couple small opportunities to improve it, as detailed below. In general, you want to accent nouns and verbs rather than adjectives.

when everything comes up warm, fresh, and green. <= accented as: "when EV-ery-THING comes UP warm FRESH and GREEN, however spoken naturally, the accent would be on COMES rather than on UP. So consider replacing "comes up" with something like: "arrives"

the snowy brisk winds make me feel alive. <= natural accent should fall on WINDS rather than BRISK. Perhaps try something like: "the winter blizzards", "the sharpened snowflakes". There are tons of possibilities.

Though dark clouds gathered, soon a storm would rage, <= accent should be on "clouds" rather than "dark". Try: where clouds are gathered

recalling your warmth always helped me thrive. <= accent should be on WARMTH, not YOUR. Try: recalled caresses, remembered presence

Hope this is helpful to you. Thanks for the read.

I like your use of the seasons as metaphors for your the depth of your
subject's feelings. A very painful loss. Thanks for sharing it and good luck. Be well.

Aw. I am sorry. This sounds as sweet as a honeybee's honey but then again as raw as winter's blustery gusts. Seem the nerves remain tender, reddened y exposure, perhaps a long time ago.

This so beautiful you have a winner here I particularly like this stanza :My memories of you won't let love end,
though you have left, and with you went my heart.
Each season comes around and I pretend,
you love me still, so I don't fall apart. " Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.
