The Smell of Fall

I want to smell the fall in the air 
As we look up in the sky 
Full of stars all different yet alike 
I want the breeze to echo your name 
As it floats along the wind 
Transporting me to another time 
I want to close my eyes and go back 
As if none of this is real
As if all the colors sounds and lights 
Are figments of my mind 
I want to watch the sunset 
Sitting high on the hill
Warm still wrapped in your blanket 
Reliving this memory so I can forever feel the warmth 
As the fall lights flicker in the sky 
I hope forever that this will never die 
So every year in the fall can be like the last 
I can dream forever with all these memories 
And I can feel fall every year as it comes around again

  • A piece of my past

    "After time passes it'll hurt less" 
    But it never did 

    "Just forget it, it was so long ago"
    But you told me always to remember 

    And each and every day 
    A little reminder in my eyes 

  • I'll miss you

    I'll miss you 

    I'll miss you every time I hear that song 
    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
