Summer Leaves Dropping

"Leaves fall in summer too."

I remember when you said it and how I thought nothing of it. I held your hand viciously as we ran to the summer shops. You always thought of peculiar things when we run. Aimlessly, you run! I always said. Let me pull you in so you won't get lost.


In a whiplash, you stopped me from running as you confessed. I was happy, but you weren't. So you leave.

Beside myself I said, I guess it's true. Leaves fall in summer too.
