Summer Lovers

As this summer draws to a close,
All the lovers know,
That they soon will have to say goodbye.
They cant make this easy no matter how hard they might try.
From the beaches of California,
To the sands of Florida.
You can see all the different summer lovers,
Enjoying their last bit of summer,
And their last taste of love under the covers.
Cause they know,
that once this summer has come to a close,
They will be back in their hometown,
Back to their old lives,Of long works hours and school clowns.
But in the back of their minds, They wont forget what they found,
They wont forget this summer,
The summer they found someone who loved them like no other.

I loved the line "I wont forget this summer." It was so personal and immediate-not a memory of a lost summer, but one about to be left behind. Good work, Ettie... j
