It began in September,
When the leaves began to turn.
I needed an interview,
You had a story to tell.
I never thought I would see you again
But a month later, that changed.
The air was growing crisper
With the coming of the autumn.
I needed photos,
You worked at the Renaissance Festival.
I thought my newfound crush was for nothing,
But four days later, that changed.
It was four days into November.
On a lonely, chilly night.
You needed to talk to someone,
I wanted to listen.
With that kiss, I thought my life had changed,
And I was so very right.
The next day was the fifth,
A day I won't forget.
I needed you,
You needed me.
I felt like I was on top of the world,
And I knew you did, too.
The months flew by in bleeding blurs,
With joys and heartbreaks abounding.
You had my heart in no time,
You were a great mystery.
Sometimes it felt like it wouldn't end,
But reality bit into the dream soon enough.
Red and pink decorations filled the stores,
And chocolate passed everyone's lips.
I needed you with me,
I think you needed it, too.
With you in my arms, the world seemed right,
But a month later that all changed.
Flowers were the new trend,
And the heat was beginning to peek through me chill.
You got a letter that changed both of us,
And would send you far away.
Through tears, we held each other,
And I knew it was almost over.
Another month went by,
Pain a constant, nagging feeling.
I wanted to stick by you,
Help you through the trouble you were in.
But she found out everything
And made you let me go.
Now, two days later,
I write for you.
I look back on 'us' with pain and smiles
But I know I can't ever go back.
To be just a friend to you is hard,
But to still love you after everything is harder.
