Leaves

Leaves are falling
Drifting down the street
The simple elegance of their movement
is something you will never see again
For where you are
The leaves do not fall
You will never change for me
You will always be
bright beautiful
and sweet
But you are gone
far away
Leaving me with doubt
and loneliness
Feeling that there is nowhere
else to turn to.
