Leaves that spin before they hit the ground.

Hello You,I can't sleep, and you are sleeping soundly, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to write you a bit of a note. My mind is just a racing tonight. You know how I am. Before something exciting is about to happen I just can't sleep. Like a little kid.
Later tonight we are going to see Margot & the Nuclear So and So's at the venue my brother bounces at in Como. He was sweet enough to remember that I love this band and got us guest tickets. I am such a lucky girl. So tomorrow night I will be standing in the same room with a band that sang me through falling in love with you two years ago.
It was autumn then. And I had just met you, and just discover this fine music. I quickly grew enamored with both you and the So and So's. More over you. The band's melancholy melody was the perfect autumn soundtrack to our fresh falling love. I swear their sounds still makes me see the yellows, oranges and burnt reds of those first fresh months of ours.
I remember once, mere weeks after we first met, I had locked myself in my parent's basement at my computer and was fervently writing away on a paper for my university class of young adult literature. It was a writing breakthrough for me. I believe all the chemicals floating through my veins, having met you and quickly falling for you, spurred me into a heightened creative state.
I was writing about my first experience of falling (in like, in lust or puppy love) and the heartbreak that later followed. I was being blatantly honest with myself and in my writing-- something that was altogether new. I was listening to the So and So's Dust of Retreat on repeat. You came to visit me and we cuddled on the couch while the music looped. I'm 100% sure I was already in love with you. I felt life and love and hope infested my bones.
It has been two years of loving you and its nearly autumn again. We went for a photo walk one evening earlier this week, that is when I took this photograph, and you wore your stocking cap. A delicious chill is returning to the air and it has begun to breathe a new sort of hope in my heart. I got a bit lost for awhile, or maybe more like a bit sidetracked with some sort of sadness. Once again though the autumn has brought me to a sort of fresh falling into life and love. I cannot think of a better way to begin this season than to stand beside you and listen to some of the voices that sang to us as we began this leg of journey together. I love falling deeper into love with you every single day.
