The autumn sun catches on the golden324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zxERTwpNx
strands of her hair, and my heart324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkznJQz2g38
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gqFSlE8B
of summer foliage, and I break324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobvtX56mtR
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN6CDjyY4I
on my arm, and I try to regain324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDhYNvKjuK
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC5Nfy1Rim
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gl6RHeE67
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos0Y0QBm2R
is one more day." She always tells324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaYxwgJycl
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a8pK0Vg9s
and yet we find ourselves 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqOh55cSQu
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFnOiIH8tQ
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM2aO9xl0W
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVIGRCP1Lf
"just one more day" -- and I wonder324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAewWnwe5D
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbUTHyl69e
is colder than death -- and I wonder324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2sNtwWijf
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmKR7jERsr
but I know time has finally 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jJ5oT61zf
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHOpHqojFS
and we lay down in the heap324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJfXoB3VCW
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgWfSXI5Mg
she tells me, and I die just a little324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4oKUKMnie
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW9IPPCOzn
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRexSs4Uof3
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX07LgLOZF
Forevermore.
