Summer

I like that smell of summer skin

Warm sun rays and salt water

Damp hair and sunburnt hugs

Warm skin on mine, love that communicates without words I like the smell of your sweater

Strawberry shortcake and slumber parties

Pillows piled on the floor and our limbs tangled But even with sore necks in the morning, we still laughed and smiled and you were still wearing that sweater as we curled up on the couch

As the summer rain poured outside and as I look into your eyes, the same color as the cloudy sky I remember those moments when it smelled like summer skin Salt water and sunburnt hugs

Strawberry shortcake and slumber parties and I wonder, when will I be able to live like that again?
