I can feel that Autumn inside me,
undying.
I feel the fluttering warmth within,
it reminds me of the campfire we had.
Perhaps the biggest and best fire I’d ever seen.
You could smell the ocean on the air,
laced with the bellowing smoke rising skyward in the night air.
The laughter and smiles that surrounded us.
Love,
family,
a bright future
and youth.
We were tinder and sparks,
I remember you
gripping your wine glass
shooting me with a cheeky smile,
I remember sitting
in the glow of the fire
and feeling content.
