I only liked summer this year
Not for the weather or the heat
The pretty flowers or the beach
I liked this specific summer because it had you in it
It had you in all the best places
All the perfect shapes and forms
All the fate and destiny where our love reforms
I liked this summer for all the hand touching that became more than just a handshake
For all the glances that lingered for a second gaze
For all the smiles reserved for just us
And for the inside jokes no one else understands
Summer has you written all over it
In a big black ink
Even when you’re gone
Tears over my bathroom sink
June will always belong to you
Birthday cake, elevator kiss
August will always be yours
“I love you, but let’s stop this.”
March is where you began and August where we ended
Summer has you written all over it
Prom will be yours too and my black silk dress
Disappointing watermelons too watery for any sense
The park will scream your name so will that bench where we almost kissed
And of course every carnival will have your name tattooed with ease
Every beautiful sky will be captured in my mind
A picture saved along the others I never sent
Not since you stopped being mine
The jean you mentioned you loved
Will always be my favorite one
The way you carried my bag all night
Will always set the bar
Movie theaters will always be yours
And so will vanilla ice cream
Today and tomorrow
Summer has you written all over it.
