Summer Again

I'm watching the green

Give into gold

As summer becomes

October's cold

Gravity begs

For one final kiss

She drops it to him

As she gives in

Traces of light

linger around

As laces of white

Fall to the ground

The softest of sounds

For the heaviest things

And the pain

That it brings

As she falls

I try to catch her

For one last touch

Of warmth from summer

As one thing leaves

To becomes another again

I remember when

Don't remember the day

She started to fade

The ground felt a chill

As she gave it away

A whisper

A sigh, for the time

That she passed

But this winter

Won't last

As she falls

I try to catch her

For one last touch

Of warmth from summer

As one thing leaves

To becomes another again

I remember when

Oh, to be

With summer again

The days were warm

And we wore them like skin

Now I feel the effects

Of October again

As she falls

I try to catch her

For one last touch

Of warmth from summer

As one thing leaves

To becomes another again

I remember when

Oh, to be

With summer again

I'm watching the green

Give in to gold

As summer becomes

Octobers cold
