The autumn sun catches on the golden338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eywC4kjzx
strands of her hair, and my heart338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6bbwiDxAr
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtsk71roYw
of summer foliage, and I break338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnD4BFWpAO
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGSXPjPWEZ
on my arm, and I try to regain338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7nphBg4WA
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Mt13nJ9T
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqU1ezu8Hk
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gb97j0Z9O
is one more day." She always tells338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYtuR2hzXV
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7DN87iv9G
and yet we find ourselves 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eLXvqPIca
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPfSnrlJuH
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAx6q7O0ag
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngcDxatWXE
"just one more day" -- and I wonder338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMf5VRwkGI
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCmuKkEGOS
is colder than death -- and I wonder338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSTGnnaXGw
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDONXkMdIK8
but I know time has finally 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvG86jx6Md
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvrMiWaKEO
and we lay down in the heap338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ASgFi2vW6
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY1Vp20Zu0
she tells me, and I die just a little338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEPriZwORZ
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsu2TpGFRj
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBYdGTLSF0
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgZCPywxaV
Forevermore.
