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.

One of the best poems from one of the best poets...Can't help but wonder who this lucky individual is or do I mis- interpret? Lines five and six along with the last two knocked my socks off...
