the fall of love

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.
