I thought that this summer
I would be holding your hand
As fireflies made crowns of light
Atop our heads.
Instead I am as alone
As the solitary mosquito bite on my arm
As I reach out of the car window,
Grasping at the air speeding by.

Grasping At Air
I thought that this summer
I would be holding your hand
As fireflies made crowns of light
Atop our heads.
Instead I am as alone
As the solitary mosquito bite on my arm
As I reach out of the car window,
Grasping at the air speeding by.
