Those summer nights
Sweat and laughter coating the air
Our eyes meeting;
We looked away in a rush.
I liked the way you blushed
I remember the time my icy lips
Connected with your soft, quivering neck
The sorry that came out in a quiet hush
The smile you gave me, telling me it's okay in our own secret language
I remember the night we snuck out
I only came out to see you
Did you know?
I remember the climbing, the sitting, your voice, and our hysterics
I remember the running, the falling,
The chasing and leaving me so much to lust after
I remember the pale blue bottle shattering
Or one of them at least
The red, white and blue flashing lights scaring us
We ran towards our creek, we soared through the sky
Or maybe it was the excitement churning, propelling us forward
I loved the feel of my hand glued to yours
I remember the "man" that scared us but later turned into a tree
I remember the park and the stupidity of us,
The white ghosts of our breaths and the big blanket you carried
I remember the unfortunate walk back, my heart heavy, not wanting the
night to end
That night you snuck into my house and into my bedroom
You slept on my bed
And I fell in love with your curls
I just want to remember those summer nights
I could forget the rest...
I wonder if you think back to those summer nights
Before I moved away (from what we could've been)
Or I wonder if what I felt was just a beautiful lie
