Rainy Days and Regrets
suddenly summer turns
to autumn
and these wet
rain filled days
and grey skies
are the perfect backdrop
to my solitude
rainy days and regrets
won't bring you back
there is nothing to say
that hasn't been said
the leaves will turn and fall
like every word
we ever shared
drifting through the air
remembering summer
and winter follows autumn
with colder rain
and longer nights
for waiting and dreaming
of a different season
yet to come
