Summer Romance

How does one start a summer romance? Does it simply happen by chance? Do you fling your arms into some strangers palms and agree to do a little dance. I wonder about these things because a dull summer just isn't for me. Neither is waiting around forever to see if someone might come along. Why not take this chance to be free. Now I know that might seem a little bit unclean to want a summer romance knowing it won't amount to a thing. But still can't a girl just sweep those fairy tales under the rug for a few short months and just have fun? No suppers. Lots of do overs Half sober half intoxicated lets go out on lots of dates and have no arguments wouldn't that be great? No messy clean up or hearts to crunch I just want this to be fun for once. And this could exist in my imaginary world where him and her could be alright with just calling it what it was and having a good nite But were not okay with that we have our fun and than fun turns to wanting something more than what can emerge Even summer romances get heavy and in the end I'll shed more tears than I'll smile. We'll never know if something is long term or just for now. But still I long for those romances even if they're only for summer and don't quite make it to fall. Any love is special.
