This day swallows up thunderstorms like a champ,
spits out roasted pebbles and late lunches leaving everyone wanting for more,
moves those volleyball courts into the view of hundred of thousands coasts and playgrounds
This day,
well this day is somewhere between June and ads for buying schools supplies,
somewhere between heat and happy hours
This day tries to appease to everyone,
creates shades like a magic trick,
sets up wind like a pro
This day says 'thank you' when you give her a meaning by
buying a new bikini or
preparing to ride a bike for 7 km or
jumping from high grounds
" I am not saying that this day has anything against me but once I planned something and she didn't wanna come", you will say
but this day has your back when you think you don't need her
This day has a way to make a best selfie,
the best beach party and a best vacation day

This day is there for anyone but not anyone was there for her
Sometimes they think they are much better having a drink and watching a movie with some other days in mind,
much better ignoring her for a while cause this day will be there, later, for sure
This day says 'I am sorry' for when sun comes a little too harsh,
for when she can't control her temper
This day doesn't always gets gratitude from others
but is always there to hug them in a warm towel and sun cream based on knowing that even thou she can hurt you this day is doing everything she can to protect you
Sometimes this day is gone and you are afraid she won't come back
but she does,
every single time
and you forget about your worries and start daydreaming about leaves and
woolen jumpers and
Halloween
This day tries to appease to everyone
no matter their age,
tries to stay true to her nature and shes hurt when you have had enough of her,
when you complain about her excitement,
when you start loving AC more then you love her

This day has suddenly disappeared
You sometimes notice her hair among other days,
sometimes more than usual,
sometimes you wistfully watch her across the street on your way to work,
sometimes you stop at the traffic light and see her driving past
This day doesn't notice you then
but all at once
this day comes back with smiles and bouquets and salty waves,
surrounded by summer games and wet curls and tanning sprays
This day forgets why she even left in the first place...
And you hope that this day will always return even after your mistakes
and by the look of it,
this day will,
even if she takes some hours out of it
cause this day, really, just tries to appease to everyone
