Reminiscence of Fall

Life with you scares me good.
This is the season where the cool winds gust
with the aroma of wood fires
that brings the feeling from the dust
the familiar yet strange reminiscence
of a dragging time I lost it all
a time that seemed cold as forever
down so low I could only crawl.

Life with you scares me good.
If we make it through this season
we'll be good to go for another year
please don't misunderstand the reason
the winds that carry chill
and scent of fires burning
across September's empty places
remind me of a desperate yearning...

a time of lost dreams, a composition of alone
where I needed you, but didn't know you yet
because God said it wasn't time for us
but still a barrier, I cannot forget
when the first chill comes sweeping
on into October evenings' burning wood,
if we make it to November, if you can stay
through something I can't let go away
life with you won't scare me so good.
