October Skies

September rain has come and gone
And once again youre leaving me
Seems that in this life I am destined
To never be complete
And sure enough, just like I said
That September rain turned into snow
And as it falls on the ground
Youre leaving me in sorrow
But in this time of sadness
I still wear this smile on my face
Knowing youre still in my heart
And can never be replaced
With these new October skies
Comes a new and hurtful change
That reassures that in this life
Nothing ever stays the same
So take these wings that you have grown
And leave nothing in regret
Know that everything weve shared
Is everything Ill never forget
Though I tried not to show it
Youve seen me when I was weak
You picked me up when I had fallen
And placed me on my feet
You took me by the hand
And showed me a fork in the road
You taught me that you cant always be there
And that sometimes, Ill stand alone
Countless times I gave up on myself
But you never gave up on me
When I let go, you pulled me back
And taught me just to breathe
You were always there to save me
And wipe the tears away I cried
Always watching over me
Just like October skies
Like I said, you cannot choose your destiny
So you be careful on your own
Remember always that I am here for you
And that my heart will always be your home
Remember always that I love you
And without you, Ill be empty inside
But Nikki, forever will I watch over you
Just like October skies
