MAPLE LEAVES

The years fall slowly
like maple leaves in October.
I keep waiting for the season to change
But you are still a shadow on my heart.
When I said I would love you forever,
I didn't mean a season or a year.

I meant I would love you until the stars burst.
So I will just let these years keep piling up,
and then, when you are back,
we can jump in them together.
