Autumn

The amber color washed down into your belly,

you were fun then and I guess I was naive.

Our arms were cold but our bodies warmed as we sat outside,

remember? Do you remember?

You said your number aloud

and I told you stories of when I was ten

you laughed at them.

Remember? Do you remember?

We found ourselves together later on

and we made it work

despite our broken talent.

We found ourselves the next day

and you were not so thrilled

and I was disappointed that you changed.

I told you stories of when I was ten

and you were not amused,

just like your name you changed.

I screamed at you

and you cried

and I screamed at you.

I didn't know you'd change,

I want the way you were.

Remember? Do you remember?
