It’s like the sun is in the sky
Those nights when sparks fly so high
All you saw was their endeavor
Both knew they wouldn’t have this moment forever

In the spur of the moment all time halts
It’s like their hearts are dancing the waltz
Their faces shined so bright
In the cool air of the night

The strong smell of smoke in the air
Yet that was the least in their care
Because however, whenever, or wherever
Both knew they wouldn’t have this moment forever

Autumn is the season
Where their pleasures come in reason
To her he was a shining night
In the cool air of the night

The author's comments:
I have a few friends who are in long distance relationships and this inspired me to make a scene. They get to see each other, but they know soon they will have to separate again. Even though they are separated by distance they still love each other like any other couple.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
