Summa

Do you remember that summer

the one we spent in bed

the one that went by in a blur 

What do you remember of that summer

will it be the way the sheets

stuck to us

the way we stumbled through

a million little silences

as i sat humbled

by the grace of god

you're so pretty 

Or could it be that teenage kiss

that started it all off

that struck a nerve

and struck a chord 

Cause I personally 

will remember the scents

soaking into my pillow 

I'll remember staring patiently

at the resting figure beside of me

there's an angel in my bed

Caresses seduction something

out of this world as the frenzy

follows and the calm descends 

The clinging closeness 

as sunrise brings us in where

sleep had seen you depart

I'll try not to remember the

utter agony of our first fight

and the fury and the things we forgot

as we tore into each other

risking tragedy 

Tempting tears out

The solitude that flooded in

in the wake of your trip back home

home alone

So I'll think fondly of that summer

the one we spent in bed;

I'll soon be knowing autumn

the wait the dread

The romantic overtures and longing this exudes are palpable. Those are the summers of our lives that we'll long remember.
