farewell to summertime

the breeze blew
the high grass
near the shore

summertime

where heaven is
apparent in a
dreamlike state
a blurred vision
of time through
rays of sun and
everything's alright

beauty is present
roses in fields
that you and i
ran through every
year when time
left us until
the sun said
goodbye
we'd stay until
the rays faded
everyday

the stars guided
our way home
shooting throughout
the universe as
we discussed our
lives years ago

i come back
every summer
walk down
the road
in the new
roses
by the show
in the tall grass

i am not
who i once
was

i'm someone
better

but i carry
those memories
with me

for those
years
with you
under the
sun
dancing
in the
warm rain
helped
me see
the person
i would
grow to be
