you were summer
because i wanted to have you forever
but forever
is not a long time

you were summer
because you burned
but comforted

you were summer
because you held petals upon your hair
and danced in the heat

you were summer
because you were gorgeous
yet melting

you were summer
because i wanted you to last forever
but summer has got to end eventually.

you were summer
because you taught me
that people are temporary.

but how long is temporary?

temporary, my dear, mocks.
it taunts and it teases

it kills
but entrances

you were summer
because i loved you
but you could not last forever

you were summer
because our time was almost up.

and you were summer, taylor,
because i know i lived us
to the fullest.

and i cry as i type:
"there is not a thing
i would have done differently."
