Autumn Girl

Autumn Girl

Rustle of the leaves and sound of the breeze

A cold wind blows while the sun warms my face

Lost within my world

Searching for my Autumn girl

Living off my memories a year at a time

Seeing the leaves change colour within your eyes

Smile so perfect it drives me insane

Lips as soft as an evening rain

Lost within my world

Searching for my Autumn girl

The world is a blanket of falling leaves

But none have fallen harder than me

Your kiss of frost placed upon the land

To claim it yours, please take my hand

Lost within my world

Searching for my Autumn girl

I know seasons can't stay always and forever

But know that when I'm with you I see no other

Wishing you'd return sooner, every time you go

Putting up with other seasons is harder than you know

Lost within my world

Searching for my Autumn girl

Try to pull you from that cycle of time

To keep you here and make you mine

With you I'm no longer lost; found my reason

Autumn girl; You are my favourite season

I wrote this as a birthday present to my girlfriend (Oct 29th). This is the first

poem that I've written for her, so nothing seems good enough, but I've

decided it's better if I move onto another rather than worrying about the

first one. The poem basically relates her to our favourite season, and how

after being single for so long, I've decided to try relationships again.

"Seeing the leaves change colour within your eyes" - is actually written

after noticing one of her green eyes actually have a brownish orange

coloured corner.
