i just feel myself.
losing sight of you in the dreams i've had
with you.
like the leaves leaving the tree
branches during the start of autumn.
and when those dry leaves hit the ground....
brown, yellow and red.... Orange.....
some pick them up to adore the colors,
some.... crush them....
and that's me.
a small little brown leaf.
dried up, light, brown but,
on verge of being crushed in someone's hand.
i think that's you. i think.... you're about to crush me.... with your bare hands.
and leave all of the pieces of me....
on the Earth ground. and what's next?

you walk away.
and here i am....
detached...
