The fall has just begun

Walking hand in hand

Under an Indian summer sun

She is in love with me

And I am in love with her

As much as one can be

We stop to kiss awhile

Tease with each other

Her eyes reflect my smile

On a quiet street

Surrounded by maple leaves

With the skies below our feet



I dreamt I was awake

What a lovely mistake



Could this feeling last?

Prolong the present

Please let there be no past

All I ask from life

Is some mutual adoration

To ease the constant strife

Though my castle in Spain fell apart

Crumbling into dust

Like a depressing piece of art

I woke up feeling blind

Cursing the cobwebs

Of my subliminal mind



But what a lovely mistake to make

Next time I won't awake

Let's dwell in our ceaseless state

This time I won't awake
