The autumn sun catches on the golden547Please respect copyright.PENANA1RjoK2nLyl
strands of her hair, and my heart547Please respect copyright.PENANAzIHmYB7OLc
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color547Please respect copyright.PENANARMv3cDR3nR
of summer foliage, and I break547Please respect copyright.PENANAPdeOXe0Y0R
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice547Please respect copyright.PENANA8TStkTOFvg
on my arm, and I try to regain547Please respect copyright.PENANAxLaL31dU3e
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts547Please respect copyright.PENANAAlXM2pEm1U
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss547Please respect copyright.PENANAF6AUi6VLIP
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want547Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ag3kW0BEZ
is one more day." She always tells547Please respect copyright.PENANA1s19TDqNcw
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,547Please respect copyright.PENANApGMWX93aTr
and yet we find ourselves 547Please respect copyright.PENANAiVCJCLiYAK
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,547Please respect copyright.PENANAZWh9L9XiHu
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,547Please respect copyright.PENANALmmlE9FAbp
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --547Please respect copyright.PENANAbDbOHchdVl
"just one more day" -- and I wonder547Please respect copyright.PENANARiYKdmDI6f
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin547Please respect copyright.PENANALx1CPqHUkl
is colder than death -- and I wonder547Please respect copyright.PENANAKwL142gIES
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,547Please respect copyright.PENANADWYLOHqyv6
but I know time has finally 547Please respect copyright.PENANAU04fkVc1Ra
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,547Please respect copyright.PENANAeXZp0YVbUD
and we lay down in the heap547Please respect copyright.PENANAwrfaqvW3v6
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”547Please respect copyright.PENANAwMcfLyjgYH
she tells me, and I die just a little547Please respect copyright.PENANAl3HCF7e5ey
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love547Please respect copyright.PENANALJFtqe6HEk
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 547Please respect copyright.PENANADWwTFSoG9d
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.547Please respect copyright.PENANAAZufvzy5zN
Forevermore.
