The autumn sun catches on the golden205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4M0azL1pf
strands of her hair, and my heart205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5DPATxPNF
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOmtPOfoy6
of summer foliage, and I break205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQBbpE7sMc
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYnTHvsdFo
on my arm, and I try to regain205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHNuZjBPmf
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWP0Eudja
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRthBZxBXU2
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lRq5T9bUN
is one more day." She always tells205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNg3fRZw4Z
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJVvupsU5d
and yet we find ourselves 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEky2TKWjO
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nxLWALgHJ
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKU9eLP4ag
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynWAbXcpUJ
"just one more day" -- and I wonder205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4WCILJpy
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbpAj0RUGd
is colder than death -- and I wonder205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnzngPLOgz
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8mExq31ly
but I know time has finally 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg46U0qz59e
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ7WVUuLyO
and we lay down in the heap205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIukCElZrrq
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsnucQolif
she tells me, and I die just a little205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIgYoxoFIx
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOExUO3Cfa
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dlbtb7xYt
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfV7vRMfB3
Forevermore.
