Autumn Leaves

I am in love.

With the autumn leaves.

I was beginning to think they were never going to come. But, alas! Today was the first day I felt OK to say fall was among us. I spent every available moment looking out the window and daydreaming. The rain is falling and the clouds are gray but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cause right now all I need are the leaves.

I was tired of the "be happy cause the sun is out" summer days. They left me too exposed.

I'm at peace today. Even with the rain. I'm at peace. Even with the cold winds. I'm at peace. Even missing him as much as I do. I'm at peace. Because this too shall pass.

This song always reminds me that I am not alone in my sentiment.
