The autumn sun catches on the golden337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxqVkOebXA
strands of her hair, and my heart337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06wNCR8V9S
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTxxTxp9s
of summer foliage, and I break337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD4ylZGDdJ
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE7D2kYPD0
on my arm, and I try to regain337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpw9vow6Xe
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUPwaWuUyc
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejRmb5Kswn
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURqFs5OI5O
is one more day." She always tells337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV3YeQyxlr
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BxhN5YDKC
and yet we find ourselves 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WIcEN9czQ
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7FakpNzvI
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJunf1j7eY
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwv3SZao36
"just one more day" -- and I wonder337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FBPE8tbWg
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ254IG1w8H2
is colder than death -- and I wonder337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6wtuSnA7l
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvlYZYo38Z
but I know time has finally 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljpotem6V
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedgmZ5zD2D
and we lay down in the heap337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqm6K0G7zL
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f0Cv3wOmM
she tells me, and I die just a little337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaYHXbHnE2
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLqwuyAkAf
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEb2rWOEkr
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.337Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNC3RxeeM9
Forevermore.
