My Old Flame
I'm thinking about getting back together with an old flame. The problem is things are fine right now. How could I be unfaithful like that? I know where things go with Old Flame. Things will be great for awhile then cool off right down to cold...
Yup, Fall. I know it's coming. There are all things teasing seasonal flirtations it keeps making my way. Like leaving work in the morning and it's just a little bit darker and the air feels cool, not in a cool-warm way; more of a warm-cool. Once the sun in the evening, even if the day was hot, it's kind of... nippy.
Biking down Lowther last week I noticed a maple tree. It's seriously prematurely red. Bright flaming red. It's leaves were falling- it was beautiful, but really too early. But there, all the same.
All this teasing make me excited for Fall. When it's warm in the day but I'm wear sweaters and tights. When the trees are beautiful and they smell like rotting gardens. That's a really good smell. The noise that you can make when you're walking through them, that's an easy one. And of course even being out of school for years now, I still feel like it is the start of something new.
But I feel guilty because Summer is just such a great season. It's warm and sunny and it stays light really late. How can you hate that? It's great to be able to wear flip flops as shoes! It's great to go for a walk to the store, come back and say "hum, I smell... ha! It must be really hot today!" Food all tastes really good. So I feel badly when I start to look forward to Fall. I get to a point where part of me just wants it to be full-on Fall so I don't have to feel like I am being unfaithful to Summer.
My old flame . Problem is, I know I'll flirt back. I can't resist. We'll end up getting back together, even though I know the relationship will just get colder and colder and turn into something I'm not interested in. We've been down this road before, of course. It's a seasonal thing.
