The autumn sun catches on the golden263Please respect copyright.PENANATaDFd7m5uT
strands of her hair, and my heart263Please respect copyright.PENANAiWrrZvRrOl
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color263Please respect copyright.PENANA9BjGmJkg3k
of summer foliage, and I break263Please respect copyright.PENANA0QOauRmUwS
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice263Please respect copyright.PENANAySkOgBQSRv
on my arm, and I try to regain263Please respect copyright.PENANA4GYLpDMU4G
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts263Please respect copyright.PENANA0VdSbXL2cY
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss263Please respect copyright.PENANAvU4ORvsG6y
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want263Please respect copyright.PENANA4GbqO5Xa2g
is one more day." She always tells263Please respect copyright.PENANAIlU6gPBtMt
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,263Please respect copyright.PENANAmuRaXruJQ3
and yet we find ourselves 263Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9pXmJWTx4
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,263Please respect copyright.PENANAEaMSdyL3J7
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,263Please respect copyright.PENANAPpexDzgWnN
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --263Please respect copyright.PENANARyrZgbgGjl
"just one more day" -- and I wonder263Please respect copyright.PENANAbux5yCnrKH
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin263Please respect copyright.PENANASRBxrikQN9
is colder than death -- and I wonder263Please respect copyright.PENANA6scXMm890t
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,263Please respect copyright.PENANAcdKeP3kUgq
but I know time has finally 263Please respect copyright.PENANAOciT2NmqGQ
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,263Please respect copyright.PENANAwiQKIqtSTv
and we lay down in the heap263Please respect copyright.PENANAv2rsZtTOl3
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”263Please respect copyright.PENANAyTpi3KwlFh
she tells me, and I die just a little263Please respect copyright.PENANAbuWhp7sdoN
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love263Please respect copyright.PENANAbqyGk3Wl8j
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 263Please respect copyright.PENANAHwA3VjWtXS
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.263Please respect copyright.PENANABYmJiui47z
Forevermore.
