November

Do you remember
The chill of the air in November
The autumn breeze wrapped us in blankets
As we held our breath and closed our eyes?

Do you recall that
We thought it would all last forever
The days of our youth and the weather
And the love that we wore on our chests?

But all good things must end

Do you remember
Watching the sunset together?
The rays of the sun lit up
Every last one of the memories
We held in our fists

And do you recall that
We always swore that we would never
Forget all those days and the weather
And the love that we wore on our chests?

But all good things must end

And we both knew
That we were just making
The poorest excuses like we all do
Just to feel like we have
Something solid to hold on to
