the next autumn we ran.
not run like run away,
we rode a bicycle to wherever it took us.
i sat at the back of the bicycle.
you sat in front, having the time of your life.
the sky was cold as always.
you dyed your hair a faint red.
it suited you perfectly.
"WOOOHOOO" you cheered.
i smiled fondly.
you always found a way to make me smile.
we passed through a flower field, occasionally letting our hands out to gently caress them.
a smile was always etched onto my face.
we didn't know where we were going, but its okay, we have each other.
and anywhere with each other was nice.
the town slowly disappeared from our sight.
i loved every single second of this.
the bicycle bounced every now and then because of the rocky path.
the time was now 7 am. the horizon began to light up. the sight was absolutely breathtaking.
and to be sharing this scene with someone you love.
i took my glasses off.
without realising, she had stopped the bike.
i looked at her.
she signalled for me to sit on the tree stump nearby. i sat beside her.
our hands brushed against each other.
i was caught off guard, but focused on the sun instead. its rays shined beautifully onto the grassland. the world was painted a shade of orange, how funny. just like autumn.
honestly, ive only ever felt alive in autumn. the best things happen in this season, partly because she's here to spend it with me.
maybe one day she'll find out, and maybe we'll share a hug or two or maybe a kiss under this specific tree.
