The autumn sun catches on the golden313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQfl9WwnT
strands of her hair, and my heart313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG59acvMGDZ
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLs1P6fJXw
of summer foliage, and I break313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa4RJIRelg
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlWdcS6FXY
on my arm, and I try to regain313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87NT0x08zV
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZkMeiVp0j
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkOF0RgYbu
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFKYymOoqa
is one more day." She always tells313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY4ezaWmhF
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ23caacSZR
and yet we find ourselves 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8jXyJoeC4
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhow7rRuNa
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC80ESSfrIP
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiVFn25iGj
"just one more day" -- and I wonder313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLirx82MZe
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwliIHKa8d
is colder than death -- and I wonder313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn3E5HvJiy
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUs35tY6x8
but I know time has finally 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwupQ1gna2
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbzE6SwWBf
and we lay down in the heap313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKxdA9gPMw
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKcx7tIm2s
she tells me, and I die just a little313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUWLcdnLB5
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9BDp4dRAX
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyhWwsbasM
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguSX2843xQ
Forevermore.
