The autumn sun catches on the golden290Please respect copyright.PENANAA98zDu771k
strands of her hair, and my heart290Please respect copyright.PENANAXxDBJce9y1
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color290Please respect copyright.PENANASAmiT36tSF
of summer foliage, and I break290Please respect copyright.PENANAfJGdUC4LkG
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice290Please respect copyright.PENANArm6d1EHFM6
on my arm, and I try to regain290Please respect copyright.PENANAHEVC4BwL7t
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts290Please respect copyright.PENANAj8i5dW2aH9
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss290Please respect copyright.PENANAEXWKJ0yZyL
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want290Please respect copyright.PENANAOe8IChYo0H
is one more day." She always tells290Please respect copyright.PENANAiYw2d9SuaT
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,290Please respect copyright.PENANATnQYberNx8
and yet we find ourselves 290Please respect copyright.PENANAuTgkZxyGc1
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,290Please respect copyright.PENANANMS8Bum9sL
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,290Please respect copyright.PENANAtTtEnGJw3w
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --290Please respect copyright.PENANAQSyWHSqYFp
"just one more day" -- and I wonder290Please respect copyright.PENANAmhC55W6L94
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin290Please respect copyright.PENANAlZnRsZaLCo
is colder than death -- and I wonder290Please respect copyright.PENANAVVHuK8LbAr
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,290Please respect copyright.PENANAnkAR4ECbT6
but I know time has finally 290Please respect copyright.PENANAhvF3j65uMq
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,290Please respect copyright.PENANAw1Jj82Qrvz
and we lay down in the heap290Please respect copyright.PENANAt1QVXuj7Qh
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”290Please respect copyright.PENANAQpMOtiaO0P
she tells me, and I die just a little290Please respect copyright.PENANA1tFNZI53Dc
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love290Please respect copyright.PENANAYne3OR0Zh8
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 290Please respect copyright.PENANAQtDuftJXDC
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.290Please respect copyright.PENANAoigKWPVuKD
Forevermore.
