Autumn Love Defined

I thought I would be walking this path
Straight towards you, like always.
But when I started walking, you weren't there!
You had slipped out of my gaze.

I had thought I was right, of course,
But I had never quite stopped to think
Where that road would lead me to.
Never did I stop to rethink.

I haven't reached the end of my path,
But I'm not traveling your's anymore.
I've found something new to spend my time on.
I've finally opened a new door.
