The autumn sun catches on the golden345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNX23BKdPH
strands of her hair, and my heart345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEPpuKOz01
breaks a little bit.
She looks at me, eyes the color345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOZDCY7UqC
of summer foliage, and I break345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUozaH6BrMd
even more.
I can feel her touch, like ice345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrrU2HM2WW
on my arm, and I try to regain345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaWEBzuAQT
control of my breathing.
Sorrow stains her face, like rain, as she lifts345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VpNB46k0b
her mouth towards me, placing a kiss345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0zjniiYhT
softly on my cheek.
"I'm sorry," she says. "All I want345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPQJfxtzTO
is one more day." She always tells345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRvgLEodS7
me this. Just one more day.
But time has never been in our favor,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq7dNlrCE0
and yet we find ourselves 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9J1BxgaTO
trying to evade the inevitable.
"Just one more day."
The autumn leaves fall around us,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmhbe3CHMt
a rainfall of colors, red, orange,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMKALtoOjg
yellow. I inhale slowly.
Her breath ghosts across my neck --345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbaaQqOFdd
"just one more day" -- and I wonder345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpr6OxelSI
why it has to be this way.
I cautiously touch her cheek -- her skin345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ErQNxth9a
is colder than death -- and I wonder345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68n31uAVNa
why we can’t have forever.
One more day isn’t enough any more,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rDzTWI6dM
but I know time has finally 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiazpXs2Zi
caught up with us.
She smiles, just a wisp of her lips,345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOUUi4BEe5
and we lay down in the heap345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLk5nSYAeL
of colorful autumn foliage.
“Let’s be together again some day,”345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBHgt3EL3q
she tells me, and I die just a little345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5QQmOBBZo
more inside.
“Promise me,” she says. “that you’ll love345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GK0E0VFWn
me even when I’m gone.” I tell her that, 345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wJqztDu3K
of course, I’ll always love her.
From now until forever.345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3kH5VSiwE
Forevermore.
