The autumn sun catches on the golden378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmpqmZMSVH
strands of her hair, and my heart378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFm7AaSMwo
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCBykauhY2
of summer foliage, and I break378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiT7SG8ug2
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4b8x4X25P
on my arm, and I try to regain378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDfwspDZvZ
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rAEtuoOKV
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kTulxL94T
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b9MfyRzjw
is one more day." She always tells378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvqnewoIDH
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Gih6RvRt
and yet we find ourselves 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXvLFHC1m5
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VNbKgVs53
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYpFufEq1c
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwrBmN9zrS
"just one more day" -- and I wonder378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3sM4mqsAF
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7mmmvPSZ
is colder than death -- and I wonder378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL82kkKwbV9
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR0c6bTiEp
but I know time has finally 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbC2JZWSgu
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfuXgzG9A2
and we lay down in the heap378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0vI4yfpD9
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqEOsLUGlF
she tells me, and I die just a little378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ157ehiKXYU
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Md0x9Qfc
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG9QKXzblx
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sZRio1WLy
Forevermore.
