August, My Old Friend

August, my old friend
You came back
I have a favor could ask
Can you hold me better than my July did?

If not, bear with me
I'll be in need
August, I'm not perfect! 
But please hold me tight 

Invite me not to frustrations
I had plenty of that gift 
And I'm no need for more
I hope you listen, August 

Invite me for a drink or a coffee
Or maybe to silence
Tranquil, isn't it? 
We'd be spending 744 hours

For a Rollercoaster ride
Better than my July did? 
I need more gifts from you August 
Am I too much? Please hold me tight! 

I didn't beg July 
But I beg you August now
Do you hear me? 
Can you read me, August?
