october was beautiful. it rained and rained and rained.
one day it was sunny and they said it might be the last sunny day of the year.
i mustered my way from coffee shop to coffee shop
and pretended to like the scent.
i chased busses
wore rubber rain boots
and wished you could see my face against the rainsplattered window
thoughtful, and drenched in nostalgia.
week two went by fast
and week three made me realize the significance of the past three years
i always confidently said that
fall was the best three months of my life
and it was true.
i wished i would have spent more time loving people.
i wished i could be there, but i said good luck
and you know ill always be your biggest fan.
one day,
i excitedly tried to explain how a pile of leaves was so gorgeous.
he didnt get it.
i stomped in puddles and puddles of red
green
yellow
brown
and orange
took pictures
and laughed when i saw on a map that seattle was the rainiest cliamate in the world.
you talked to me on the phone,
made me smile way too many times
i drew a picture of a rainbow and hung it on the wall
just to think of you
i stayed up late
you even later
and wished more than anything that i could hug you.
