its 8.45 on another Thursday in October
and I’m writing about you again
you. who always loved the autumn.
the golden auburn of the leaves
falling gracefully into your chestnut hair.
the sunset walks- dusk and dimming by 7 p.m.
the orange glow reflected among the streets
was heavenly, ethereal in your company.
I can’t help but think softly of you in it
elegant, ecstatic energy
skipping and parading beside me
as though these desolate lanes were our runway.
we would rendezvous in private- woodland crooks and crannies, between the sheets at the warm glow of candlelit nights, street corners kept our secrets safe.
sweet lips like cinnamon buns and pumpkin spice lattes and that soft admiration in your eyes- a childlike wonder- a twinkle that lit up at any and every magical opportunity as we explored the autumn-sprinkled city.
this time i may not have you.
but at least I’ll still have the memories.
- autumn glows as it burns brightly and fondly reminisces
