Popcorn

Wisps of long brown hair

escaping a orange knit hat

Honey brown eyes

Surrounded by black-rimmed glasses

Heart-shaped lips

Lightly covered in lip gloss

Cream sweater

Under a green puffy jacket

As the evenings got darker

And the days got colder

We became closer

As the leaves were whisked away

We began online school days

And became inseparable

Fall has finally returned 

From a 

Long, 

Long   

Trip. 

She arrives at our doors, 

It’s been so long

Since I’ve seen your face

That I’m starting to forget

The color of your eyes

And the way you smile

But I’ll always remember

The way you cared

The leaves fall

I spent fall with you

And fell into your frigid winter embrace

We went trick-or-treating in the dark

And we took walks in the park

But in the end

You were colder than winter
