cornelia street (live from paris), ᴛᴀʏʟᴏʀ ꜱᴡɪꜰᴛ, 00.48
time is going by too fast,
yet some good things truly do last.
once, i was in love with mere memories:
with the ghosts whom only i could see.
you were of the past in september,
you were a gift in october.
i was a fool in november,
you loved me not in december.
i fell for another amidst january,
i danced with him on a night in february.
you called me once more sometime in march,
by april, once again, we began from the start.
school ended in may,
june was void of dismay.
july i turned fourteen,
august brought forth the unforeseen.
september once again passed us by,
it's october today; i love you, and i think you know why.
i'm trying not to fall with the leaves,
drawing stars on my cardigan sleeves.
i know i've loved you since the very first day,
but rather this than that way --
because i don't want you to go away.
[ throwback to "the story of us",
part 5, chapter 1,
adventures in misfortune. ]
