I can’t help but see you, in the changing of the leaves The bright yellows, oranges, and reds And be reminded Of the years we had And the conversations we shared The times I made you laugh Floating, dropping Settling to the ground I can’t help but feel you In the beautiful gray skies When the light of the sun Is gentle on my eyes And remember our springs Our summer That has faded into fall And found you wasted away I can’t help but dread The nagging of your absence As the trees become barren And the sparkling Delicate snow Eases to the ground I can’t help but stare longingly At those limbs And remember a time Once when the trees bloomed And know that sadly These trees Will never bloom again
