Longing

I haven’t posted here in a while. Let’s see how this goes.  

I now long for days where the shadows grow longer and the worst of the weather can be shielded away by copious amounts of layers.

I’ve grown fond of the cold, maybe it’s the dire heat of the days I walk in today but I also believe in a new warmth that has awakened within me. It is a quiet and temperate heat that has begun to accompany me ever since I met you. I’ve found comfort in this warmth.

I look forward to days where the wind will be less harsh and caress us instead with a cold that is kind. Yes, I know the days will grow shorter and night will be upon us much quicker, surprising us in a way that doesn’t make any sense as every year it is the very same. I’m not sure if it’s just me but I will never get used to way the sun dips beneath the horizon sooner or later as the year goes by but the darkness will do for there is always so much light in this city and just as much radiance in you.

The Leaves Fall for You

I wish we had Autumn where I live, I think I’d enjoy it quite a bit. Mostly it would be the colours that I’d love. Since it’s Autumn elsewhere I really felt like writing this. 

The time of summer, when the sun planted kisses on your skin all throughout the day, is over.

While we wait for its return you’ll have to make do with the kisses of the leaves as they fall on your face for autumn has come.

And maybe in the time that it takes for the leaves to disintegrate into the Earth and the Sun to return to its former glory, the soil will remember the pecks on your cheek and the trees will feed on these memories of you only to do the same thing over and over again across the years.

The trees, like the Sun, will never forget you.

I have just told you the reason for autumn.

The leaves, they fall for you.
