Change

What can I do to make this stay? 
To make all the moments, 
Where we were infinite last forever. 

To keep the good days for the future, 
And carry the bad along with my past. 
How can I let life change, 
But not let go. 

What do I do with my life, 
When my eyes begin to grow tired. 
As my mind slows, 
Where can I rest far from the shadows?
But still, be true to my soul. 

If I saw a shooting star, 
How would it change my day? 
And as fall ends, 
Will any of this truly stay?

    But you told me always to remember

    A little reminder in my eyes

    And every time I feel the need to tell someone something 
    That I know they don't need to hear

    I'll miss you every fall 
    And every winter
