Summer flames to autumn leaves

Is it finally safe to say my goodbye?
Leave the lighthouse I found,
You were my shelter in the pouring rain, 
I was safe and sound.
My haven of peace when storms came crashing down,
But thoughts of you now make me frown.

It’s like the autumn leaves are falling,
Seasons change they always do.
Can forever truly last or do promises fade?
 once a burning flame, now a cooler breath,
 like a  cold winter night, bringing a different depth.

In my diary , I wrote of the feelings I felt,
It was a style of my own as I remembered each smile you gave,
Each heartbeat that reverberated in my chest.

I would pour my heart out,
on every page .
I prayed for you each moment,
for God to keep you safe.
I gave more love than what i got,
I was a slave for love,
to keep you close I put myself in chains

All the autumn leaves are falling.
Colors are fading away,
They gave cool air when the world was suffocating day by day.

Like the summers heat, our friendship was strong,
I ignored the pain, ignored that nothing was wrong.
It is still not something I want to accept,
The fiery bonds that turned into a  cold space .

When comfort slowly faded, as you slowly withdrew,
The cold path left,  is one I do not want to tread.
I’m stuck with memories of what was once said.

I have kept all this in for too long,
Staying in this cold fall feels too wrong.
I’m saying my goodbye, but I will cherish what we had,
Cherish the summer heat that made me glad.
