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.
