This Fall
October’s in the air and you and I
just stare all night long at the nothingness.
You told me ,“life is but a dream”, but all
that I have seen, is your attempt for change.
When I’m with you it's easy, like telling
you good evening as you close your tired
eyes. and I wish you weren’t so sleepy but
I hope you’re maybe dreaming of a life
with me. And maybe I’m not so fragile,
and you will drive us to the chapel; I’m
in a white gown devoid of salty tears.
and I hope when you look back on these days
you won’t remember my somber smile,
or all of the driven highway miles,
because there wasn’t a day that would pass
where I believed distance made my heart grow
fonder. but now you’re here on Autumn days
I haven’t fallen into my old ways
though I wish I smiled more in the sun.
Leaves are scattered on the ground and I hope
you’ll hold me tighter instead of handing
me the lighter because I’m tired of
setting flame to our love. Let me close my
seasick eyes; tell me please, I’ll be alright
As long as it's your heartbeat next to mine.
October’s in the air and I
don’t want to stare all night, so long
at the nothingness. If I could
be alright, then perhaps we’ll
kiss goodnight, just one more time so
I won’t live in the nothingness.
