Autumn is nipping at my ankles
The sun has shifted in the sky.
This is a season of change and sorrow
I’m having to say goodbye
The days are getting cooler,
Leaves are dying on the bough.
I’m shedding my attachment,
I’m getting over you now.
The nights are getting longer,
I miss your smiling face.
I miss your body in my bed
blossoming, in my embrace.
Soon the icy winter winds
will blow my longing away
as sure as is my beating heart
As day follows night follows day
