The autumn sun catches on the golden257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjHLbXGnP8
strands of her hair, and my heart257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWT0i7EhW0
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jNs5NrvyY
of summer foliage, and I break257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pkCwGpOiC
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi59OWDO5Qx
on my arm, and I try to regain257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zx2GjjKS1
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nZFZjyKKB
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7219eOTCK
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9S837AqDj
is one more day." She always tells257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWvTwqcgr1
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2lY323XPk
and yet we find ourselves 257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj6RTIhFTm
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s9FuIcfHx
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsAk0oZGF9
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxIXUOWmJ5
"just one more day" -- and I wonder257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRLnH97doR
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5FMKuxAkh
is colder than death -- and I wonder257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkC4n7Y67C
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR4mXcFjKY
but I know time has finally 257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNn2o0NSTZ
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH2ACCEzM4
and we lay down in the heap257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsStAkuQ5zR
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zGGPjHyK2
she tells me, and I die just a little257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgOqst2F9B
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooKt7mHZHo
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbyw6jUG5H
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuKJwLMjXB
Forevermore.
