A Change of Heart - Etheree

Change had brought October and you to me. With words from a heart so far from my own, but still so close when I read them, feel them, see them, bringing changes. I, like the leaves, am falling fast, hoping that you, like the earth, will catch me. September 23rd, 2015 "For Love Of October" contest

Wow! Powerful in such few words. I love the fall so any analogy about leaves, or crisp breezes I adore. Great job :) -LU
