Absent in Autumn

You won’t hear from me past August

No affections in the fall

I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise

But I’m not sorry I loved at all

And you won’t find me in September

When the sun is turning cold

Doesn’t mean I don’t remember

It just means I’m getting too old

You won’t hold me in October

When the leaves begin to change

No Dear John letter to say its over 

You just know I'm not that way

So you get on your plane

Fly towards that eastern star

And while you’re on your way

Just know I’m not that far

'Cause we were made just like the seasons

We were always meant to change

But just because I'm not there with you

Doesn't mean I am estranged

Please don't wait for me come November

And the things that should have been

Drift back to times so new and tender

When the foreign fog wears thin

No thoughtful presents in December

Sending intentions in the mail

Fire faded down to graceful embers

So my words will never fail

No birthday gifts in January

Aging again just for fun

You think it's all to be contrary

But really I'm just done.

So you get on your plane

Fly towards that eastern star

And while you’re on your way

Just know I’m not that far

'Cause we were made just like the seasons

We were always meant to change

But just because I'm not there with you

Doesn't mean I am estranged

Author's Note

Wrote this song about a few different people and condensed it into one.

I like how this flows, it sounds like it would be a slow lonesome song, but that's just how I see it. I like how you did the months it shows how time passes by. I also like how you based it in the fall, because that's when everything falls away and becomes barren, a season where it is easy to feel cold and alone.

Good Job
