the leaves are coming back and you're not. not that i expected you to stay anyways. goodbyes get a lot easier when you start writing them as you begin to fall. but this isn't a poem to depress you. this is a poem to put things in perspective. a reminder to dip your toe in before you dive. a reminder to keep your heart under lock and key until you can be rest assured you're giving it to someone who's an expert in playing for keeps. a reminder that love is not defined by the length of a relationship, it's defined by the strength of it. a reminder for me personally that worth is not measured in pounds. a reminder that you'll know when he's the one. a reminder that genuine love is being each others bestfriends. a reminder that their laughter is your medicine. a reminder that you'll find yourself wanting to explore life with them by your side. a reminder that even though love doesn't always work out, you'll have some good stories to tell. a reminder that it is better to have lived it and regretted it later, than it is to not have lived and always wonder what you missed.
