autumn is now making us feel its presence
i am aware, time is of the essence
my moments with you are threatened
my moments with you hasten to end

treetops are dotted with yellow, red, green
dropping leaves of brown, orange and gold
to cover the grounds, now made softer
With those fallen leaves of autumn
winds would later hastily blow cold
Warmth now gone, content no longer there....
for,
in your sweet thoughts
i fear I might  be lost....
in your heart, the flames may die.
no longer there, your burning desires.

------------the days to come--------------
-------i will be amongst people, but------
---in that part of my mind, each moment---
-----i would spend in solitude, with you
------------but, this much i know-------------
-------you and me are just a dream------
-------you and me, we are worlds apart------
----------i don't have much choice------------
------------i would be there, BUT-------------
----------you would be nowhere near--------
---------we are blown different ways, like-------
-            ---------fallen leaves of autumn---------          

(...thoughts of us in autumn are getting into me.....)
