Autumn rain
the leaves slowly fold
into forgotten dreams
a river of
colorful streams
all around
the air translucent with
auburn memories
of Summer nights
bright in warmth
the fire of our hearts
arrogant in love
we thought enough
to keep the chill of Winter
at bay

But sure
as we were
we couldnt be more wrong
We could not weather
wind nor rain
At least not together
So we parted ways
the other left standing
under an umbrella of pain
empty promises made
left unfufilled
only the leaves
to whisper our will
to someday meet in the middle

try our hand
at love again
this time surviving
in the end
