Dear Summer,
The following mysteries you hold will never be ones that I understand,
1. Whenever I am around you, my memories fracture
Like glass shattering on the floor
Everything I remember about you are just parts of an incomplete whole
Just puzzle piece emotions that never fit together
Just broken sentences that cannot form words
You are sunrises and sunsets
But never days that form weeks that form months that form a season
You are not a season
Just a collection of moments
2. You are never what I expect you to be
Each day is different from the last
Sometimes you're here but not present
And other days I am the only person you want to talk to
I wish you could just grow up
But maybe youth is a blessing I'm not one to keep
And one that you are supposed to own
Forever
3. Our conversations are not so much talking as they are joking around
But whenever I try to say anything more, you are already out the door
If only you weren't this distant
If only we could orbit around each other instead of around the sun
Maybe then I could understand why
4. When you are gone
And other seasons come around
I think about you from time to time
I feel your ghost looking over my shoulder
When it shouldn't really exist
Because you never leave anything behind
