The soft autumn breeze ruffles your hair as we sit under the golden canopy
the air full of dying leaves and a blossoming romance
in the season that fosters closeness and warmth
we grasped at our chance for a true, deep love

The shimmering sunlight breaking through the trees more and more each day
growing colder each night
days growing shorter and nights, longer
but love forever expanding, encapsulating two souls

Hayrides along the burning sunsets
riding hand in hand
heart to heart
Growing closer than I've ever been

cups of steaming, auburn cider and smooth cocoa
Hearts growing bolder as the air grows colder
trips to the fair and long nights stargazing
but everything fades away when I stare into your sky blue eyes

weird how the cold weather and dying greens
grew something more beautiful than I've ever seen
because this wasn't something I could see
this was something only a broken heart could fathom

because you held my broken heart
you melded all of the pieces back together
you fixed me in the fall
and for that, I give you my heart
