You're not the only one
Who's changed:
I've changed too -
Like the color of Fall leaves
And the shape of fallen raindrops
On a dreary day in October.
And you're not the only one
Who's stayed the same:
I've stayed the same too -
Like a stark, barren tree
And an overcast sky
On a dreary day in October.
But no one ever said
This had to be permanent:
Leaves can be blown away
And raindrops can dry up;
Empty trees can be full again
And a grey sky can change to blue.
Yet somehow I fear
It will be a dreary day in October
Forever.
