Autumn is here and reminds me of you
The leaves changing colors,
the way you did too
You left the city we called our home
and came back a foreigner
You lost yourself in a new world
and I lost you
Without me at your side, you grew
and grew and grew
Until the space between us was so big I couldn’t touch you anymore
You spent the semester carving a river between us
You were scared of drowning
So instead of swimming
You ran
You left for school in the fall and left me behind too.
