Autumn

By: ITSme

As Summer closes and Autumn begins
I think back to the time
Of when I first discovered you
and that you were not mine
The leaves were yellow, orange and red
the air was brisk and cool
I watched you ev'ry chance I had.. and
tried not to act the fool
As we stood there on the hillside
looking down into the valley
We watched the random shadows.. while
you stood there right beside me
I wondered if you could hear,
so loudly, my heart pounding
As we spoke, I could not look at you
for fear you'd hear it resounding
I couldn't understand how much of life
had swiftly passed me by
Without ever knowing you were in this world
at the very same time as I
How could it be we never met
somewhere, before that Fall
Or, did we... and not take notice
for, the timing wasn't right at all
So, now with Autumn here again
I picture again that hill
With you standing beside me .. as
I hope someday... you will
