Everyone’s rushing home
Under the streetlights’ glow
I sit here by the window
Thinking of her, you know
Rain paints bridges
Between her and me
I’m searching for the depths
Where with her I’m free
Autumn whispers inside me
That it’s time to not be afraid
That it’s time to change it all
And honor the choices I’ve made
I look into the darkness
Chasing away the “must-do”
I’ve found my own “I want” —
So autumn knows what to do
I write on paper
What I cannot say aloud
The words that I need
I find inside, unbound
Every step I take back
Is a meeting with myself
Every step toward her
Is a challenge I’ve felt
Evenings with her — a treasure
Every moment feels like home
My path alongside her
I write it with a single tone
Autumn whispers again
I hear what I must pursue
You are me, and I am you —
So autumn knows what to do
