Falling into Love Autumn1982

Falling in Love in the Autumn of 1982

It was on an autumn evening
In September 1982
That I met the love of my life
When she walked off a bus
Into my life.

It was an early fall night
The weather had just turned
When she lit up my life
The date I met my fate,

Over the next few weeks
We met daily
For long walks
In the autumn weather
Enjoying each other’s company.

Falling deep in love
With the changing colors
Of the autumn
Cheering our love.

For this reason and others
I have always
Thought of the autumn
As my favorite season.

It is a season
Of new beginnings,
Of finishing the promise
Of the summer.

Waiting for the winter
Soon to come
Waiting for something
Wonderful to happen.

Anticipating my birthday
And another year
With my love
By my side

Walking through the autumn leaves
Into endless love.

Author note: I met my wife on September 7th, 1982 on a delightful fall day in 1982. But I first met her in a dream in 1979. It was love at first sight. For more love poems, check out my web page, https://theworldaccordingtocosmos.com
