The autumn sun catches on the golden583Please respect copyright.PENANAhkqr46zs9t
strands of her hair, and my heart583Please respect copyright.PENANA4dq45jPIll
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color583Please respect copyright.PENANAnBjaokRj3P
of summer foliage, and I break583Please respect copyright.PENANAv0NsVLEmdc
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice583Please respect copyright.PENANAYXcdV39cop
on my arm, and I try to regain583Please respect copyright.PENANAPH4Ex4AIbd
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts583Please respect copyright.PENANAxsLFmTGdCM
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss583Please respect copyright.PENANAuHJ5KAHark
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want583Please respect copyright.PENANAUSke9EKli5
is one more day." She always tells583Please respect copyright.PENANAIxv1NZ3Ri0
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,583Please respect copyright.PENANAGJtOpZaNwu
and yet we find ourselves 583Please respect copyright.PENANAeE2wwOLMZf
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,583Please respect copyright.PENANAqMSBQW6uti
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,583Please respect copyright.PENANAoWwUuFuy3Z
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --583Please respect copyright.PENANA2naWZRmr77
"just one more day" -- and I wonder583Please respect copyright.PENANANLLr22005u
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin583Please respect copyright.PENANAVdO2AmwGN3
is colder than death -- and I wonder583Please respect copyright.PENANAXP9zLn0K6s
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,583Please respect copyright.PENANAWW2zsZoKrx
but I know time has finally 583Please respect copyright.PENANA8xEOXol4ym
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,583Please respect copyright.PENANAun5SHTVtiL
and we lay down in the heap583Please respect copyright.PENANALYTlOaLMsB
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”583Please respect copyright.PENANAkAlmqecCjO
she tells me, and I die just a little583Please respect copyright.PENANAmebMptKy4r
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love583Please respect copyright.PENANAi5O7YcUpT3
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 583Please respect copyright.PENANAfA6t6cNR7j
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.583Please respect copyright.PENANADwanEye19w
Forevermore.
