the long days grew to long nights
summer sun turned to autumn wind
worn out t-shirts became well loved sweaters
time passes by and the leaves change color
our childhood grew to adulthood
promises turned to forgotten dreams
our moments together became distant memories
we stand by while the leaves change color
see you soon grew to silence
the endless sleepovers turned to endless goodbyes
the you i know became the you i knew
but that’s just the leaves changing color
