Roses for Him

summertime

       

Sun tinted skin, salty hair rolled back in waves

that resembled the ocean below us,

all I could say was he was beautiful.

The all too familiar sound of waves crashed

all around us.

It seemed all too serene to be reality.

I think I was lost before he found me.

With him by my side I felt

invincible. When he was near

I would smile for

no other reason than

just knowing that he was near.

But once I reached the mature

age of twenty one I learned how to lock

that emotion away. A girl like me should never be allowed

to love someone as precious and kind hearted as him.

He was divine. I found myself contemplating this

many days a week. His smile would enter my mind and

I would be able to feel that feeling of being

seventeen once again.

Those were the days.

It was the summer time.
