summer

summer

and he’s leaving

but summer

so i’m okay

summer

and there are moments

of summer

when i’m breaking

summer

the smell of it

of summer

when it rains

summer

drowns  me in memory

oh summer

how I love you

summer

is lost and cool basements

summer

is books worn like friends

now summer

is searching for a place to call home

summer

is my feet touching bottom and pushing up again

summer

is white and pink flowers

summer

is saying goodbye

summer

is wishing it could have been different

summer

is treasuring what was

summer

I have so much to tell you

summer

is questions with answers that hurt

summer

is sleeping in and waking up sweaty

summer

is new adventures and i’m smiling again

summer

is wanting to go back, knowing I shouldn’t

summer

is everyone going their separate ways; will they come back?

summer

I want to thank you

summer…

i’m coming!
