Firefly

 

 

 

The brisk, autumn air bites at my cheeks,

But I take no notice of its chill.

 I am in love

With the feeling of your warm hand clasped in mine,

With the sound of crisp leaves crunching beneath my feet,

With the scent of your soothing skin,

With everything about this moment.

 

Like a firefly,

 I want to capture this moment in a jar,

And keep it forever

 But, like a firefly,

A captured moment can’t live forever.

 

But my love for you

Is not like the firefly.

This moment may fade away,

But my love for you

Will never end.
