Forever September

Aren’t there just some people you want to save? You know you “shouldn’t” want this; you know this is technically “codependency.” But when your kindest friend with the saddest eyes comes to you needing something but resisting it when you try to give it—what other option is there? I want to trap her in an eternal September day, pretty sweaters and crunchy leaves and perfect sunlight all year long.
