I watch the final leaf descend, my love
A whispered farewell, carried by the breeze above
So fragile and weightless, in its solitary flight
Much like our love, now a poignant memory's light
See it pirouette through the fading day
A dance of sorrow, as summer slips away
Each flutter, a fragment of what once was
Like your tender caresses, lost in time's pause
Oh fallen leaf, bear away with thee
The dreams of an endless summer, now set free
As you journey to the earth, do you hear my plea
Speak to her of love, as you rest beneath the tree
The tree stands bare, its branches stark
A silent witness to our love's fading spark
For every leaf that falls, a tear I shed
In the soil of remembrance, where our story bled
As you settle gently, dear leaf, on the ground
You echo our parting, without a sound
In your stillness lies a tale of love's refrain
A symphony of longing, etched in autumn's pain
The leaf and I, kindred souls in this descent
Its fate mirroring mine, as love's season is spent
In its final surrender, a universe unfolds
Of love lost and found, in whispers untold
And when spring returns, with life anew
The tree will bloom, and I'll think of you
For in every leaf's fall,
