Summer Solstice
by: mayevielle
It was the best summer of my life
That summer when I met you
That summer that sent chills to my soul
On that day, I knew I am screwed
I never knew summer could be this good
For the bench where we sit gleams with glam
The wind dances with every move of your skin
I saw leaves like they were snow as they fell
I ask of you what could we be?
Leaves fell down straight through my chest
You told me we were friends
Friends and nothing more but friends
I held my head up high
As painful as gazing at the sun
I knew then that you were so much more to me
That I have to restrain myself from you
It took you four sweet days to know me
To laugh and share secrets we only knew
It took me four minutes to realize
I am in love with every image of you
As magnificent as the sun could be
You could always reach me
My feelings will always see you
But will never be able to reach you
We talked
We walked
We separate ways
We grew
Another summer year happened
Another sit with you on that same bench
In my pocket of hidden feelings
In your smile that made my summer cold
I finally saw that ray of light
Different colors with different possibilities
I am never good at conversation
But with you, I am a verbal machine
It took me four seasons to confess
With nothing but these pure idle
I will gamble our friendly feelings
To cross the line of affection
Here I am in my most naked soul
This very moment will change my life
Counting my breath from 10
And its already 3...2... I---
Someone as bright as the sunflower
Came and sat beside him
She and her light came
Her brightness outshone my courage
