Fall Is

Two chai lattes, to go.
The scarf I knit you and
The mittens you gave me.
Warming up under a blanket.
Catching the warm days and
Laying in the park to savor them.
Crisp night skies with fall stars.
Leaves in my hair,
Dirt under your nails.
Carving our initials into a pumpkin.
Sharing a pocket so we can still hold hands.
Hearty soups and wholesome breads.
Remembering how your hair color
Changes with the seasons.
Forgetting the window open and
Having to sleep closer.
