Saying Goodbye to You

I’m going to miss you next year
You know that right?
I hate saying goodbye to summer leaves
And hello to bittersweet colors
That are meant to be rich but turn
A mirroring color of the twanging pain I feel
As I walk away from you
From all of this we have shared
I know this is life
But there has to be more
Than tasting your breath for a second
And then breathing it out through my nostrils
As if it was never there
Why can’t I hold you and me
Together in snow globe
Where the snow would never cease to fall on our delicate faces
And the snowballs that we threw would laugh along
A place where autumn leaves are far from sight
