Fingers rake through hair

Like autumn leaves in a suburban yard

Tire swing around my hips

Fall isn't so hard

 

I like the way your jeans feel on my jeans

The way you pick my apples is art

Love you from the bottom

of my pumpkin spice heart

 

Scarecrows in your closet

I don't care how many Falls you've seen

Don't you ever (red or orange) leave(s) me

I don't need you to be green

 

I love you much from under my flannel

I love you much from the top of the tree

This is the best Fall of my life

Thanks for Falling for me
