Something in the Fall Pt. 1

We’ve known each other for seasons, Like the way trees know the changing sky. You were always there, steady as the leaves turning, But something happened when the air grew colder. Lately, I can’t stop laughing at your texts, Like every joke holds a secret we hadn’t shared before. It’s funny, really—how I’ve known you for so long, But now, you’re everywhere. In every late-night message, In the way my heart skips when I see your name. The trees are catching fire outside, And inside, something’s shifting in me too, Like I’ve started seeing you in a light I didn’t notice before.
