And fall
And winter will come

For some kind

I prayed
We hadn't grown too far apart
I didn't want to lose
You
But I should have seen it coming
A long time ago
When your laughs
Turned brittle
And forced
They easily broke away
I should have known
That spring brought change too
So when autumn came
And those brittle laughs of yours
Were more fragile than ever
I knew
We were over
