"I'm dangerously romantic when the leaves are coming down
When the air was clear this morning and the frost still on the ground
When I wore those cozy woolen gloves to bicycle into town
Well of course I'd want to fall in love
and finally settle down
But I'm dangerous
So be careful with me,
Cause I could fall for you
much too easily.
I'm usually cool,
I like to be free
But I'm dangerous right now
Be careful with me.

Dangerous by David Wilcox

What is it about this season? I guess my previous relationships have all begun in October, and there's some feeling about the time change and driving home with the heat on that makes me feel like I should be beginning something new and exciting.

I love fall. It all reminds me of being in high school and wearing thermal and flannel and falling leaves.

But the last few years it's always been a bit depressing when it starts getting dark at 5:00 and you feel like you can't get anything done in the evenings because it's dark outside.

And sometimes I just want to be dangerous with someone.

Last night I had a blast, watching scary movies with my good friend Rich and his friends. I found myself driving home a familiar path in the rain with my heat on. It was good to have that familiar feeling with a different reason, to have just enjoyed a night with a group of guys, most of whom I had never met.

I realize that all of this is very rambly, but maybe you can understand this feeling of wanting to be dangerous, of being glad that the past is the past, of falling in love more and more with each changing season.
