darker and darker

it’s noticeable now

how you’re leaving us

turning your face from us

to go to your others

to bring them your warmth and love

leaving us to make due with only a fraction

of what you once provided

it can’t be ignored anymore

soon your harsh alternate will have custody

his scent is already in the air in the mornings

soon his traces will be seen on the grass and the leaves

then even on the windows

but first

can’t we have just one more dance together

one more chance to soak you up

one more chance to make memories that will

tide us over

until you return

    I didn’t take this as being about summer. I totally took it as being about kids who grow up. That could be because I was writing about it two seconds ago.

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
