SUMMER

Innocence speaks to innocence,

And so I speak to you
Those three little words

That I hold
In the cup of my hands,
Whispered from one heart to another

Those sweet words
Filled with the bliss of summer
And the wholeness
Of requited love.

But you know what they say
About summer romances,
What they whisper
Behind their hands

As we walk past,
My fingers clutched in yours,
Your eyes meeting mine

Filled with the gooey stare
Only young love brings.

"They were never made to last"

And so,
Much like day gives to dusk
Its light

You give to me
The shattered remains

Of the love founded on the sand,
And broken on the leaves.
