A Love Letter.

Dear Autumn,

I believe myself entirely incapable of expressing my feelings for you in words. You seem to leave everyone, myself included, in awe as you tumble down from the mountains. Every leaf is captivated by your beauty, turning scarlet as you rush past, unable to contain their blushes any longer, and gradually falling for you as I have. When you are here, days that once were filled with laziness by the pool transform into the longing for adventure. Everyone makes preparations for your visit. Cutting their grass a little bit shorter, putting on their best sweaters, and creating pumpkin flavored everything, just for your liking. Even the strict schoolteachers put their lessons on hold, just to get a glimpse of you. I would have to admit that I am much more enamored of you than the average Joe. When you come, I cant help but feel excitement in the air, and a longing to be in the mountains. 

I guess what I am trying to say, is that I love you. 
And, it makes me sad to think that you only come once a year. 
What could be a year round adventure only lasts a couple short, glorious, months. Months in which I spend all of my time devoted to you. In your honor I go to bonfires, hikes, parties, plays, and so much more. If I could, I would stay every moment with you.

You are glorious.

Sincerely,
Sadie
