September Skies

The summer begins to fall
Fantasies are cut short all to fast
We are reminded of who we were
And forced to make the present past
Infatuation replaced
With falling leaves and open books
Last moments come to a close
No more stolen glances or hope filled looks
The embrace no longer felt
Realizing the cruelties of fate
Finally finding all the right words
Of course they came 2 minutes too late
The swings no longer swinging
Standing in the rain
Sympathizing with every drop
Knowing each ones pane (play on words...i.e. window pane/ pain)
What if'ing yourself to sleep
Suddenly feeling Septembers night
The darkness and the cold
That just used to feel so right
The skies filled with memories
The beauty of its colour lost
The skies filled with promise
But knowing just what they cost
Mind running overtime
Heart beating even faster
Dreams full of "if only"
Heads all confused with disaster
Never letting go
Never losing hope
Knowing nothing for certain
Just figuring out how to cope

Forgetting just the skies of September
Knowing I want you in my sky forever
Forget just the skies of September
I want you in my sky forever

*if any of this pertains to you, you can substitute any month you wish to in place of September...as long as it rhymes with forever!

goodnight, goodnight and goodnight!
