Rustling In The Autumn Leaves

Lovers on the ground,
Rustling in the autumn leaves,
Splashed in a cascade of orange and stuff.
It's the stuff romance novels only dream of.
I walk past the "task-occupied" couple in the park
Thinking how romance is so underrated.
I try and recall the last time my wife and I
Were so tangled up in that web.
It's been a while. Way too long,
Or has it? We've been together for an awfully long time,
And we're still running the marathon.
That has to say something about our mutual love.
The more I analyze the situation,
The more I understand that these two lovers
Must be in the infancy of their relationship.
Nevertheless, both scenarios
Are examples of love consumed greatly by fire and passion.
