&&you faked the leaves because i couldn't have my autumn kiss
summer sun does indeed ricochet off beating-heart-red leaves that drifted in from the off season and hid in the midst of the downwind. sunburnt shoulders and mosquitio bites were the last things on our mind, but we'd remember them later when we itched like a flea-infested puppy with the mange but couldn't scratch without feeling like we'd broken bones and shattered souls.
(why had i never looked at you like this before?)
i think maybe the summer sun made us a little crazy.
you took my hand and ran away. the prince does
tend to steal his princess i suppose.
you know that you're always on my mind. like a circus carousel. flowing up and down, always in motions. i always come back to you, just like that cute little elephant always shows up again too. dancing in circles and never minding to stop the ride.
missing the autumn, when your eyes gleam like facets.
the fallacies of crude summer sunlight must fade away.
no longer will the dull be bright and only the brightest
shine in the wipsy post-summer almost-light.
we know it's summer but let's play pretend.
lost somewhere in a mirror maze it seems. what is real? what is reflection? what is a door and what's just another empty space? love, you fliped the axis of my world and now i'm crashing into the sun. flushed face and silk craft leaves.
you clipped them up and watched the fireworks explode
it's funny how a faked kiss was one of the best. drowning
in the make-believe of an artificial autumn i've never
felt so alive. magical in all of it's glassy pretend. breaking
down the surface tension and it still seems so real even
a few ripples in reality couldn't shake this
anything means anything and
to you anything was a promise.
summer sunburns fell away and suddenly it was autumn again. those scarlet leaves didn't seem so fake, despite their clothespin stems. and nothing is more real than our artifical kiss.

quick explaination? girl's favorite season is autumn but it's summer. the boy clips up the leaves for her so she can have her autumn kiss. and as for saying "nothing was more real than our artifical kiss" just in case you think they didn't really kiss or something they did, but she says artifical kiss because she's thinking about how everything was all faked and planned except the actual kiss.
get it? got it? good
enjoy
