Summer Feelings

1. Laying down on your bed, basking in the sun with the window open. The silent streets. The chirping of birds.

2. A kiss at the pier. The taste of cherry lip balm. Wondering if you will ever see her again. 

3. Walking through the deserted town at midday. The scorching sun at the top of the sky. A melting lemon ice cream. 

4. Sleeping under a tree at the apple orchard, listening to the rustling leaves. Feeling safe even if for a moment. 

5. The silent, deserted streets. The whisper of leaves. 

6. Riding the roller coaster until you feel sick. Then riding it again. 

7. Long treks through the forest. Fireflies and wet socks. It will be night soon. 

8. The drive-in theater. Dry lips from the popcorn. Your fingers covered in dust from the car you’re sitting on. 

9. Laying on the grass of the backyard at night. You wish there was water in the swimming pool. You wish there were stars in the night sky to look at. 

10. Long car rides. The taste of soda from a gas station. The whispers are closer. The wind in your hair as you speed through the empty highway. 

11. Summer storms. Wait inside until they are over. Do not make juice with the lemons from the tree that was struck by lightning. 

12. You wonder where she is now, if she is still somewhere. The taste of cherry lip balm on your dry lips. 

13. Missing your friends. The ones that tried to go back home. The ones you left behind. 

14. The empty street. The silent, deserted towns. The whispers. 

                       The chirping of birds.
