fall

i fell in love once
it ironically was in Fall
last Fall to be exact
i didn't know it til the spring
but fall i did, for you.

gravity was not the reason
neither was the iron wall
not the leaves from off the trees
but it was her, the Wendy Darling
o i did but fall.

change comes with fall
so do the bandaids
colors, skies, and rain
change can be hard but also beautiful
o what a lovely change.

it may hurt
for days
weeks
years
or lifetimes

but hope comes with all this

for spring will come
and buds will grow
and back will come the bliss

for i did fall good and long
i jumped, and you were there
you opened up your embrace
and caught me in your arms
o yes, i fell.

at times we landed and it hurt
but tears were there to heal
the times we flew can't be compared
although they sometimes will
because we, were happy there
that place of lingering bliss
our happy thoughts lifted us up
to heights we'll always miss

so every tuesday that i can
i'll fly there to that place
i'll think a happy thought of you
maybe in my embrace
or maybe of the change that came
or maybe of the stars
but i'll be there to escape
the deepness of the scars

now seasons change
and so do the years
but one thing still remains
i will always think of you,
although there still is pain,
the love and joy brought through it all
is worth it, waiting in the rain.

fall will come and go, not stay
and so it is with change
we just must endure to the end
that we can arrange.

i fell for you
that fateful Fall
my life was changed
just as the leaves
just as the trees
my heart
my love
my all
