Oh, that summer,
Do you remember?
That summer was hot,
But most summers are,
That summer had a green backdrop,
With bursts of sunlight gold and starlight silver,
That summer was a stack of books,
And I finished all of them.

A perfect summer,
Do you remember?
That summer was park days,
Creaky swings and laughter,
That summer was lying in the grass,
Watching ants crawl past us,
That summer was movie nights,
With candy smuggled in my purse.

An endless summer,
Do you remember?
That summer was country drives,
With picnics in fairy tale meadows,
That summer was new friends,
And catching up with old ones,
That summer was holding hands,
Long walks and sweet words.

A blissful summer,
Do you remember?
That summer was discovery,
Horizons explored and found beautiful,
That summer was first kisses,
And not caring if anyone was watching,
That summer was you and me,
Long-standing walls torn down.

That summer.
How could I ever forget?
