Love's Last Season

How have you been, it's been a while since we last talked This summer was heavy, the heat that couldn't be blocked Now the early morning breeze carries a chill The fall you loved has come, and everything's so still Love, it seems, slipped through my fingers, like grains of sand Fading away, leaving nothing in my hand I miss those days, when our love was so strong The days I've lost, the ones where we belonged I think of us, back when we laughed and cried Those moments were ours, but now they've died But you keep coming back, in the quiet of the night A bittersweet embrace, a haunting light This aching void I can't deny When the fall arrives, with its cold and lonely sky I miss you more, want to hold you tight But my heart aches, with you out of sight This lonely autumn brings memories of you The days we shared, and the love we once knew These chains of memory bind me tight But in these memories, I find a place to hide How are you now? Have you finally moved on? Have you forgotten me, now that I'm gone? It's strange, I want you to be happy, yet When I think of you forgetting, my heart is full of regret I think of us, back when we laughed and cried Those moments were ours, but now they've died But you keep coming back, in the quiet of the night A bittersweet embrace, a haunting light This aching void I can't deny When the fall arrives, with its cold and lonely sky I miss you more, want to hold you tight But my heart aches, with you out of sight This lonely autumn brings memories of you The days we shared, and the love we once knew These chains of memory bind me tight But in these memories, I find a place to hide I still live in the season of you, dreaming of your face Thankful for those days, in your loving grace Those memories aren't a burden, they help me survive You taught me that love, even lost, keeps me alive I feel a thrill, though it hurts so deep When autumn shines, in memories I keep You come back to me, and the longing grows With every tear, my love for you shows The season of you is all I have now In the golden light, I remember our vow Even though it's painful, I cherish the dream For in this love, life's not what it seems
