October Baby



i miss you more
when the passing clouds
make a perfect combination more than ever
with the constant sky
on a quiet October afternoon

i miss you more
when the setting sun
spread its colour to the world
giving the sky nostalgic colours
red, yellow and orange

i miss you more
when October comes
i can't control how i feel
and maybe i don't want to

maybe i want to feel this way
when October comes
so that I'd know how much it hurts
to love you

and maybe
just maybe
in about five six Octobers from now
i might wake up and actually feel
the October without feeling you anymore

but for now, i'll spend this October
with the memories of you
and miss you
more than i missed you
on that one Valentines Day
when i lost you forever

About this poem

This poem is the pov of a girl who had her first relationship in the month of October. This month means a lot to her because whenever October comes...even though their relationship ended rather tragically, she still can't get over the feelings she felt on that one particular October when she had her first relationship. It will always mean so much to her.
