Autumn makes me miss you more

Your brown eyes

Long lashes

Blond hair pulled back

Blue nails

Your hat with the pom pom

Coat with the many zippers

Platform shoes that you were so proud of

The way you would

Throw the leaves in the air

Jump in the piles

That we spent spent hours working on

The way you would

Look up at the sky and say

"I think it's time for snow"

The way you would look at me

Sending sparks throughout

Like it was autumn inside of me

Whirling around

Different colors and emotions

The way we would

Talk for hours

Sit in silence

Jump around the yard

Act like 5 year old's

The way you left me

That other girl

The way autumn is for me now

Each leaf drenched with a memory

Every pom pom filled with that autumn

The games I now see filled with joy

All of autumn makes me miss you more

    Field trips and cheering on sports teams

    Late nights with fairy lights

    My first kiss

    That feeling of bliss

    It’s not
