Author's Note: As today marks the first day of Autumn here in sunny California, I feel blue. When you thought someone could cheer you up, turns out they want to do something else alone. Somehow reality has a way with telling you don't take it for granted (so true). But somehow, in my still hopeless romantic-still-believes-in-fairy-tales-twenty-two yr old-heart, I wish I could get a smile off of a joke, a funny story, or something to make me feel not so blue but I digress. I wish so much sometimes that this person could show a romantic side again, keep the candle burning, like it did 5 yrs ago, 4 yrs ago, 3 yrs ago. Even if they were small, cute notes or flowers, a flower or a peck or just to stop our tracks and say your feelings about me or us. Something spontaneous and random at any given day. Where did it go, why did the ideas suddenly become entangled with cobwebs and gathering dust. Why do I have to tell when you can just do without me saying. Where are you romantic?
The clock ticks steadily that seems slow but not as fast as the years that go by,
The hearts strengthen and our bond forties the fortress we've made,
although the hearth has open with utmost warmth that has come to stay,
the nine winters have past and gone away,
and we have seen the beauty of spring and heat of summer,
but there is the Fall,
where even though years passed,
I am still the girl with a fervent want and almost need
for the small, cute romantic nothings,
the sudden stops that make my heart jump and cannot believe my ears and eyes
of the love that flares,
the public affection that is all too true and so secret,
to be known of love and also show it,
No, never by command, but all in instinct,
And I cannot forget the face of wonderment when we are so near
thinking about each others thoughts in quiet afternoons,
the simple walks where we find something about each other
that we may have forgotten or not yet discovered,
the simplicity of being in love and showing it.
If you will show this again, don't let it fade from you,
don't let us be sullen and forget the very reason why we fell,
lets keep it ablaze always

Author's Note: I truly love most of Edith Piaf songs. This song, Autumn Leaves, is one of my favorite songs of Edith Piaf, it really tugs my heartstrings, its melancholy and truly beautiful, this is a cover by Emmy Rossum, all rights go to the writer of this song.
