The leaves are burning red

And the sky’s colors have begun to fade.

Summer is truly over,

All the moments we shared

Buried under new frost and the smell

Of burning wood.

I can’t help being upset.

It sounds stupid, but I always expected time to stop

Without you here to give it something worth chasing.

Still, I guess time

Just isn’t as desperate as me -

Even though you’re gone,

The clock keeps ticking

And the seasons change until my weeks with you

Are nothing but a blurry dream.

And while the birds fly south,

While the flowers wilt,

I’m scared that you’re fading, too.
