Every Fall

I fall in love with you every fall.

Seeing your face after a summer away

sends shock waves through my body.

I forget I love you

until the air starts cooling,

until school starts again.

You fall in love with me

every fall,

try to flirt, 

tripping over your words

after a summer away.

What I don't understand 

is how

every fall 

we fall,

can't get up,

yet don't ever try

to make something

out of this love.
