it’s starting to get cold
the leaves changing colors
a fall i’ve never known.
away go the summer dresses
and brief, wonderous romances
or ideas of such 
buried now
tucked under the familiarity
of warm winter clothes
and you.

on days like this
where the sky is grey
and it take more than 
a little motivation
to crawl out from under the covers
i think of you
and wonder
are you still there
and can we be in bed
instead?

the fall of love

September 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

i wish it was snowing out
so the candles that i have lit
didn’t blow out
when i turned on the AC
and the red wine
made me warm
instead of hot.

the fall of love is upon us
and i need the weather
and you
to cooperate.

my temperamental love
are you the one for me?
probably not
but you’re the closest i’ve got
and for right now
that’s all i need.

i will put my coat on
when it gets cold
but if it’s alright with you
i’d prefer it off
when you come over.

i’m sorry i couldn’t invite you in
i feel like a bad friend 
i love you
but i love her too
and i don’t want to be here
stuck in between
i won’t choose
it’s not my place
but in the meantime
i sit here alone
wondering what my two best friends in new york
are doing.
