Summer Never Lasts

what if what we had was temporary
a momentary glance of happiness
of freedom
of joy 
of reckless youth
a time of love and carelessness

maybe that was where our memory is supposed to stay


maybe it wasn’t meant to continue on into this decade.



Maybe the sun never rose up again after it set that summer.
