My seasonal allergies are flaring up
I never had them until this year
Last September was when it started
The pollen doesn’t bother me
But the sweater you loved makes me sneeze
The last time I wore it was the night you came over for dinner
I don’t notice the dust mites
But the songs we loved give me a headache
Childish Gambino is off limits for now
The doctor said it might be the dust spores
But I see you everywhere in the fall
Remembering how I loved you makes me tired
I’m not sure why
But I get teary eyes when I drive past your street
I only miss you in September
