Autumn Days Lounging in cozy chunky knit sweaters while sipping warm chamomile tea Long brisk early morning runs under the falling leaves Roaring bonfires with friends gorging ourselves with marshmallows Laying under the stars identifying the constellations while gazing up at the moon Jumping into leaf piles as colossal as mountains and the scent of burning leaves intertwined in my clothes India 10th Grad Hilger Higher Learning Shelly George
Maybe it's the way... Is it the way she Looks at me With those dark brown eyes And her beautiful brown hair Maybe it's the way she laughs and smiles On the phone up late just talking for hours It is the way she seems Exactly like me But in face she's different entirely Is it the car rides home Just she and I Singing out favorite song As loud as can be Or is it the way she grabs my hand And gets me like nobody else can It could be any of these But honestly Maybe it's the way she looks at me.
