She reminds me of early autumn
When the air is just cool enough to adventure without freezing
Because when I’m with her all I want to do is explore
But even when the smell of recent rain is overpowering
the earthy scent filling my lungs
I know I’d do anything to share my umbrella with her

She reminds me of the chill in the air of the first breeze
like the only breath I’ve taken in years
reminding me it’s fall
And as the wind gently kisses my cheek as I pass
my fingers will fumble to find hers to hold

She reminds me of in the fall
when I feel so cozy
all I want to do is curl up with a cup of my favourite green tea  
And I continue to drink from the mug
even though I know every sip will burn my tongue,
But I can’t wait for the next taste because
I’m addicted to her  

She reminds me of the beautiful changing sky
Going from light and cheerful to a dark and daunting dye
And it doesn’t matter how cloudy it is overhead
And it’s not the darkness of color that concerns me
It’s that somehow through it all
She searches miles to come back to me
through my favourite color  

She reminds me of the feeling I get
when I hear my favourite song
How the symphony of music leaks into me
wrapping it’s metaphorical arms around me in a tight embrace
And this song crescendos into a magnificent forte of season change

And she of all people would know
that autumn has forever been my favourite season
