I walk alone on this brisk autumn day
Not a soul around, just the cold and me
I walk past the houses, knowing people are inside
Are they as lonely as I am?
They have people to talk to
As I walk down this path
The gravel crunching under my feet,
I think of all the places I could go
The people I could turn to,
But instead I walk on, nowhere to go
I turn down the first leaf covered path
Only to be hit with memories of a life I barely know anymore
I sit down; it's too much at once
It's been so long since I've been here
The memories come back, hitting me like a train at full speed
All the times I came here with you
The happy moments, the sad, everything in between
I thought all these feelings had faded away
It turns out they've been inside me, dormant
Just waiting for something like this to happen
Suddenly everything has become too much
It used to be that we could coexist
But even when you're gone I end up here
I'm sitting here, crying tears I don't deserve
Waiting for the day that everything will be okay again
The sun is setting as I walk away
I'm turning my back on your memory
All the times I told you I loved you are fresh in my mind
But what you meant to me is fading
Just like the color in these leaves
-----That title is terrible. As is this poem. Whatever.
