The autumn sun catches on the golden300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3M3YCQ0w
strands of her hair, and my heart300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucRLLztyAZ
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxJGQR9AUg
of summer foliage, and I break300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiToJYitMvf
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O1IKvQ70k
on my arm, and I try to regain300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz1dDvYD8k
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf7wprTXDW
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm44RXdoUOC
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTvXtH7753
is one more day." She always tells300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hssCpindF
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9trgTfKhL2
and yet we find ourselves 300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0IircOonH
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItC79UAQad
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9wFtvVnBB
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi9aB021Uq
"just one more day" -- and I wonder300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLgf23PVpl
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2iAg0JHap
is colder than death -- and I wonder300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSZ4Vp6rOT
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpNTFc8fAW
but I know time has finally 300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffvZd0od39
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzbs7UUaDE
and we lay down in the heap300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ZU6AbigB
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjboeg1KDWH
she tells me, and I die just a little300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBSYDoM8rF
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TjadwN9cf
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVp8ifDwFq
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEejcN8zpf0
Forevermore.
