Summer.

A whisper of silk,

A warm, gentle breeze;

That was my summer with you.

I tried not to grin

When you reached for my hand.

Later, when it rained,

We shared an umbrella

And you kissed the raindrops

Gathered on my eyelashes and ears.

You took me dancing

And bought me daisies

And waited patiently

When I took too long getting ready.

You met my friends

And loved my family,

And I loved you for that.

So when the fall comes,

And a chill snaps in the air between us,

I won't be angry. I won't cry.

I'll remember our perfect summer

And the smile in your eyes.
