That one leaf

Every leaf tells a heartbreaking story

Every leaf gets swept away

Every leaf crumples

Until it is nothing but dust

Is that my story?

Am I bound to be forgotten

Like that one leaf that flew in my hair

On the one day is September

Am I bound to fly away

Will anyone pull me back to reality

Or will I keep going

Higher and higher

Till I crumple

Will I be that one leaf

That doesn't get a color

Or will I be a bright red

Will I be the leaf that gets saved for later

That is kept safe

Will I fly but have someone

Ready to pull me back to earth

Will I stay fresh

Stay bright

Stay young

Will I stay me
