leaves are strayed all around me. the wind brushes past my ear. I see children jumping in leaves. the smell of sweet candles and pumpkins are about. then I see you. this is how I know it's fall. I hold your hand as we shuffle through the leaves. you pick up a leaf and brush it on my face. laughter begins to grow in me. this is how I know it's fall. fall is the time where love is in the wind that whispers in you ear. I realize in the fall this place is gorgeous. I see that you are oh so beautiful. fall is the time to fall into love. to really see the beauty of your surroundings and the beautiful feeling when you share it with your lover. the wind whispering in my ear. the leaves brushing on my feet. my lover holding my hand as we walk in the street. this is how I know it's fall.
