I want to drink apple cider with you 

Like it’s a fine wine, 

Make-believe adult, wrapped in your wool blanket, 

Counting the minutes until your parents return. 

Every leaf tells a heartbreaking story

Every leaf gets swept away

Every leaf crumples

Until it is nothing but dust

Is that my story?

Am I bound to be forgotten

Like that one leaf that flew in my hair
