Her eyes are the shade of an autumnal Leaf

Every time I catch a glimpse, I feel like a thief

She completes me like a key to a lock

I carry her on my back as I walk

She’s too tired to go on

So my back she’s upon

We continue through the woods, whispering to each other as we go

I see her reflection in a puddle, her smile begins to glow

We walk by the puddle, she rests her head on my shoulder as we pass

Under a tree I set her down in the grass

I sit down next to her and grasp her hand tightly

She grins at me brightly

She tells me that she loves me

I reciprocate it, as I’m set free

Atop a large hill we lay in the weeds, daffodils surrounding us

I begin to let go of her hand but she starts to fuss

I grasp her once more, saying that I’ll never let her go

We look at the sky once more, watching as the clouds flow

No insect, bird, nor animal interrupts us two

They know it is something they must not do

With my other hand, I pick a daffodil and place it above her ear

I look at her as she giggles but I do not hear

I’m looking into her eyes, and I see the leaf once more

The scenery around me changes back to winter, my heart feels sore

I’m alone on that same hill again

She’s merely at home, but without her I feel I cannot sustain

The memory was a pleasant reminder

She loves me and I love her.
