Summer

The smell of you will always be summer to me:
The sun's rays shining upon us as we held hands,
Happiness and laughter, soft caresses of love;
The light of the red moon and sounds of crashing waves
On our bare, exposed feet. The warmth of your touch,
The sensation of your embrace. Content.

Summer: ice-cream dribbling all over our hands
Stolen kisses and stolen time;
Overwhelming happiness by your very presence,
The glittering happy eyes, the upturn of your mouth,
Losing all our senses, running through the silky sand
This is what summer smells of, and you.

The smell of summer, it will keep me warm
When I sit in my bed, cold and alone.
