Used to

I used to love fall

nostalgia, pretty leaves

now time flies faster.

I used to have friends who visited my house

just to say hi

who biked by

without a trace of jealousy of any boys I liked

I used to play outside

trick-or-treat

laugh and joke

the embodiment of autumn.

Now

I sit alone

inside

not content but not unhappy... well

contemplative

will I ever be that joyful again

or is that something time takes away too?
