Once Upon a September

Oh how I used to wait for you,
my sweet September
How I flipped my calendar pages,
hoping at a glimpse you'll arrive
Carrying that warm breeze within
your days, and that soft gentle wind
that wraps your nights ..

Oh how I sang to the melodies
I heard walking down your streets
And how in a moment of serenity,
you capture the kid within me
Drawing a childish smile
on a face that was abandoned
by happiness & grace ..

Why have I lost the sensation of
the joy that filled your sunny days ?
All you bring me now is a heartache
of all the memories I no longer have
I struggle to remember the pictures
I used to take when you come around
Now all I see is a blur, a vague memory
of my life ..

Oh how I hate you now, September
you have taken all what was left of me
You wiped the smile off my face and drew
wrinkles instead, reflecting all the years
I spent waiting for you.
How can I bid you farewell, when
you were once my September ?
