The autumn sun catches on the golden345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ZrMsRxmH
strands of her hair, and my heart345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjXzP72JT
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zi8TgotJq
of summer foliage, and I break345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmIv1dbpHT
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlWmOhSGd7
on my arm, and I try to regain345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmYkoU8YOJ
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekb7U8eeos
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WMKkEusI9
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxWQDFBsOy
is one more day." She always tells345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcmhK2epER
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSe3TriV6O
and yet we find ourselves 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4WwIfvJ4s
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS0ZffBQU9
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlITX6GvKob
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQyuV8q7Gd
"just one more day" -- and I wonder345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC22EDmXGVz
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMi04xziSn
is colder than death -- and I wonder345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX1g6T6e8Q
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvxaGvUD49
but I know time has finally 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8Fw19PzS
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt08q4Yiq42
and we lay down in the heap345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlqsWp2vWa
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkCOtMbjIB
she tells me, and I die just a little345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhFxO2hvVs
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlrCLLgWq7
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe2hYr6Wjy
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJYTjeHIDc
Forevermore.
