Eve of Autumn

Sitting underneath this tree,

staring up at clouds of leaves.

Heart warmed by our love

And the summer air we breathe.

Stare into your eyes

But you glare into my soul

We smile to each other

Hoping you'll never let us go.

I wish we could go back

Travel to the days

When our rocks were skipping water

The stones we threw making waves.

The red mango in your cup

I bought to cool your summers fire.

I loved you in your sweatpants

No makeup and bum's attire.

I wish we could go back

Travel through the weeks

Of that delightful time we spent

Had me blushing, rosy cheeks.

Watching Netflix, no chill

Just popcorn with the movies.

All 12 "Grey's" seasons

Sipping tropical smoothies.

I wish we could go back

Time travel to the season

That the world calls summer

And you see I have my reasons.

That's when our love began to flourish

But it fell when fall came.

Now I'm crying you an ocean

Creating rhymes forged with pain.
