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

    I'm 14. 
    And I just saw Bruce Springsteen
    Live for the first time. 

    I've loved him and his music since I was 6. 
    I've listened to him religiously since I was 7.

    018751 this was the lunch code I was given 
    My first day of third grade 
    My teacher wrote on my hand 
    With a green marker that smelled like berries 

    018751 this was the passcode for my first email
