The Kiss of Summer

Just as quickly as seasons start,

I felt the kiss of your laughter like a warm summer breeze,

The crunch of sand as we danced in flirtation,

And the calm of the sea as I waded in your dreams.


I let myself float.


And just as quickly as seasons change,

I drown in the ocean of your memories.

Barely keeping myself afloat,

Barely catching air to breathe,

And barely feeling my limbs as I struggle against the crashing waves.


I let myself sink.


Drifting in and out of consciousness,

Not wanting to be saved.
