We sit in your tree house

The view from the top floor

The moon shining through all the leaves in the trees

I lean close and whisper

Can we stay here forever?

Out here in your backyard, just us and the autumn breeze

For the first time

I feel like I’m at a loss

For words,

There’s nothing left to do but move forward

I’m finally ready for something good

I don’t know if you’ve noticed

But I’m trying not to show that I’m scared

That one day I might wake up

And realize that you are not there
