Dear October 

I know it’s been awhile 

And I’m missing you like crazy

I’ve dug up every picture 

Just to see since summer how much you’ve changed

Two weeks seems like forever

Each day that a leaf drops slow 

My heart beats weak 

And feelings of monochopsis

Have me feeling like this isn’t where either of us should be. 

I want to make music and dance in June 

I wish it was July I’d watch you far in the distance as the waves on the beach touch our feet 

In August I’ll kiss on your soul until you can always feel me impressively there in pneuma 

You’re laugh in September is always our healing 

But in October, while the leaves slowly fall

My heart beats strong as you lay on my chest, rub my belly and listen intently

To the love and security we missed for those two weeks we were gone
