I felt the ache coming, blowing up chills
like a deep dark and lonely, cold wind
I can still hear the whooshing of it on my sill
the hard passing of a old friend
****
You slipped away, without a goodbye
leaving my heart and soul behind, in tatters
I never even had the chance to cry
Pushing the past back now, is all that matters
****
Autumn seems fitting to let live and let die
Life goes on, and the seasons, a teacher
As the sun and the moon, kiss each other goodnight
Rebirth and love, never too far from reach
