Summer

Like a breath of fresh air after choking on overwhelming stress for hours

No more dress codes or stupid boys

No more worrying who will find out about us

My shoulders are exposed and my long legs are hanging out of a window

Summer has come at last

Now we spend every day together

I forget my sunscreen

You forget your bug spray

Whatever

Everything is simpler now

Every morning we wake up already too hot

Our main diet now is black caps we pick in the woods

You think the pies we make with them are the best in the world

I think our fingers our permanently purple now

And your bug bites keep getting infected

My sunburn won't heal until September
