With summer coming to a close I can't help but think of the summer it became. Even way back at christmas when everything changed and I had to leave. A new school and a new way but I always find my way back to where I belong. The friends I 'left behind' where never long gone and when it came to hanging out, We sure could hang out all night long.
The talks we shared under the stars and the times we spent thinking 'We got it all.' That all the kings horses and all the kings men couldnt take away the memories we had. Not ever again. Talks full of tears and fear some how led to laughs and more tears. We talked the nights away and all those nights added up to our summer which is quickly fading away.
The trips we took we shouldnt forget. The weather was hot like the boys and the water was cool like us girls. The first beach trip we took and the last in the car we had. Seeing as I flipped and totalled it three days after. Somehow I survived and I guess thats cool. A hurt neck, a lesson learned and my life renewed. Summer wasn't over.
The fires I did see at work over the river, was something new for me. The smiley faces lit the children up with glee and I myself did giggle. The reflection in the water was just as much a sight to send more then the fireworks soaring on high.
A new game we did play but perhaps we wont say as we took nights to figure out who we were. A fear of the forest did indeed set but not for long we soon forget as I begain to think if you want me come and get me. I dont fear death so I dont fear them, If this is the way it should be let it happen and soon it will happen to them. I wish I could clone myself and hit myself for everytime I let them get to me.
Perhaps we did see one to many movies. I'm sure a couple hundred dollars each was wasted but never when we spent the time together. A bucket full of laughs and a pail full of tears should let us know to have no fear. Even when we don't have it all together atleast we have it all.
So a close to summer I hesitate to say as this should be the summer we never let fade away. Romeo and Juliet did play and we decided we would stay until the final act and witness all the pain. Wal-Mart could always mend our minds seeing as its always there for a good ol' time and we believe laying in the road has the best veiw of the stars.
Of all the summers I spent trying and the summers I was to busy to find, This was the summer permadently placed in my mind. Its not easy to say but I want to cry, Thinking of the summer that will be left behind. A summer full of wonder and tears. 'Dont leave me' we did say alot and together we still are, So something good must of come out of this all.
A summer I spent with him and a summer I spent with friends, made me realize this is where it all begain. The start of my life and ending the old now its time for me to go, but this summer we had will never leave our heads. I remember the days we spent napping and the nights we couldn't sleep because of the tapping, in our heads telling us there is more to life.
A few things I left unsaid but maybe it was for the best as people leave and the new ones come to town. A time we had now must wait until next year when we have more to take. So looking back it was a summer of new adventure and new faces and taking the freedom some never had before. A summer of good and with that comes the bad but this summer has to be...
