Crisp wind brushing by my side
Golden streets I used to hide
Trees are changing, so am I
Letting go without goodbye
Footsteps crunch on painted ground
Everything feels less loud
In this quiet, I begin
Falling forward, breathing in
Leaves fall, I run
Not for the race, but to become
Someone I’ve been chasing slow
Now I’m learning how to go
Leaves fall, I stay
Through the change, I find my way
It’s not fast, it’s not fun
But it’s real — and I run
Familiar path, unfamiliar mind
Things I lost now feel kind
Maybe growth looks like this
Less about more, more about risk
Every turn a softer beat
Let the season shape my feet
It’s not perfect, it’s not clean
But I move through in between
Leaves fall, I run
Not for the race, but to become
Someone I’ve been chasing slow
Now I’m learning how to go
Leaves fall, I stay
Through the change, I find my way
It’s not fast, it’s not fun
But it’s real — and I run
Even if I end alone
Even if the map’s unknown
One step in the fading light
Still feels like I’m doing right
Leaves fall, I run
Not for the race, but to become
Someone I’ve been chasing slow
Now I’m learning how to go
Leaves fall, I stay
Through the change, I find my way
It’s not fast, it’s not fun
But it’s real — and I run
