Misfortunes of the Average Lover

Changes

The leaves are dying
I can't stop it today
It's just a part of life
Everything lives
And suddenly dies.

Don't blink and you might
Miss it
The beauty in front of you
I'm here to tell you because
Mine died today.

Not my mom, nor my uncle
Or my dad.
Not my cat, nor my dog,
Or my fish.

As they breathe,
My love does not, nor my confidence
Or my friendships.
I'm still here
But I died today.

Please listen to me
And if you can
Make it stay
Because if you close your eyes
You'll miss all the beauty of the day.
