Autumn Leaves Poem by G.A. Meyers

I sat by our favorite spot
Where you held me by the hand
Underneath the big oak tree
Where it all began

I glanced to my right to where you sat
And that was when I knew
As we both watched the leaves fall
My heart did the same for you

Now, I glanced to where you used to sit
After seasons had gone by
The autumn breeze rushing past
Wiping tears from my eyes

Like the greenness of leaves
I wished the memories would fade
I watched the leaves fall
As my tears did the same

I see you every time I close my eyes
And chase you even in my sleep
Because how can I move on
When you're buried six feet deep
