There's a girl I'd forgotten long ago As that summer subsided The trees lost their leaves And autumn arrived
I've pretended that I felt nothing It's been years since we last kissed But it is summer once again I'm reminded of her
They come in faint whispers And frail fingers clutch onto those tired memories That I can't seem to let go of At this time of the year
I feel the ache after all this time Once the flowers begin to bloom, yellow and white Fluttering in a candid breeze that tells me She's still out there
