dear Crystal,
I've always loved you, I've always been in love with you even though you never knew. I never got the chance to tell you.
I was only gone for 3 months over the summer, why did you stop talking to me, why did you pretend that I didn't...

It really feels like Autumn now, it never usually does around the actual time it's officially "declared".
Your favorite season.
I miss you. I miss the way you'd count down until the exact day that it turned Fall. The way you'd literally bounce on your feet with excitement the day of because you were so ecstatic that it was finally turning your favorite season again even though you couldn't see or feel the differences yet. It was just the anticipation, what you knew would be coming, what the First Day Of Fall entailed for the future.
I miss the way you'd complain when it turned Spring that you couldn't wait for Fall again. And every day that it was too hot during the summer, you'd whine and say "I wish it was Autumn already again!"
The thing I really miss the most is when it'd start to get cold enough and my mom would make us your favorite hot chocolate because we always had a supply of it. Because of you. And my dad would make a small fire in our backyard where we'd roast marshmallows for smores but you'd always eat the marshmallows before you even got it on the gram crackers and chocolate.
Is that specific hot chocolate still your favorite? Do you still drink it all the time like you used to, even on the hot summer days just because you were craving it? It's still in our cupboards.
