What is this feeling?

I don't have a clue what's happening here

What is this feeling?

His laughter was the autumn wind that tossed me around like colorful leaves

Especially if we were laughing together

Standing next to him was standing in an autumn forest that screams in yellow, red, and orange

If I got lost in his eyes

I'd be stary eyed and lost in wonder

Lost entirely on my own

Brown crunchy leaves beneath my feet

But I'm looking up like a wanderlust youth

wanting to explore every inch of this forest

I've never seen so much color

What a soul to marvel

I would've chosen to stay lost in forest if I were blind

The sunset bursting through the leaves

His moon lighting up my darkest nights

I've never felt more admiration

I didn't realize I was falling

Falling

Tripping over thorns and dead roses

Landed on my face

Bloody hands and scraped knees

I don't know what I'm supposed to think

But I know I'll miss this place

Right now I don't know much more than this
