The autumn sun catches on the golden267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkS8Tx4lOG
strands of her hair, and my heart267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm013w22nyy
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AYrplXGfk
of summer foliage, and I break267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCzxFjvyJg
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5DXlSf0rU
on my arm, and I try to regain267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUELn6rsKwV
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco8lBSrkAP
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCvVtyz8zM
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ4xFWaZzG
is one more day." She always tells267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N6ZR9toAi
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tz8FXKjSC
and yet we find ourselves 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnB1XZ767o
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH49ePnCLwu
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQrm3fF6zu
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdrFjRhzhP
"just one more day" -- and I wonder267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD3Bn46RJs
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ygJ8s9UWH
is colder than death -- and I wonder267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI1xbTDRiK
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX0OAtk8Ig
but I know time has finally 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbP77kVaqP
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhs6fzEZfc
and we lay down in the heap267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ3LiCM04D
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XGziLNZiC
she tells me, and I die just a little267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHe3sIQUgL
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrtG9GGOKg
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP2V0sp4j0
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcSqlSh78b
Forevermore.
