I'm longing for the sweet taste of summer to fill the air,
For my feet to dip into cool rivers in the woods,
For smooth legs and sun kissed skin,
For unexpected rain storms that we will slow dance in,
For the nectar of a ripe peach to kiss my lips,
For the days where my soul is warm and daffodils bloom upon my heart,
For the nights where I'm curled up with you sharing a sleeping bag under the stars,
For the adventures we will have, running through an open field,
For the memories we will makes, memories we will talk about years from now when life isn't so simple.

Someone once asked me why I love the rain,
This was my reply:
I love the rain because it makes me think that if something as vast as the sky can shed tears,
Then maybe it's not so bad that I do as well,
And it reminds me that no matter how bad the storm, the rainbow will appear and we will pick up the rubble and rebuild what was broken.

And you see, my dear, that was the difference between you and him,
I was in love with the idea of being with him,
The idea of adrenaline pumping through my veins,
But with you,
Oh with you,
I truly fell,
I loved every little thing,
The crinkle of your nose when you laughed,
The way your delicate fingers interlaced with mine,
The way you would fall asleep listening to my heart beat,
The heart that beats your name on repeat like one of your scratched records

Do you ever think about how everyone has their own personal version of the world?
Everyone is seeing through different colored lenses,
Some people may see beauty while others see pain,
Some see sunshine while others see rain,
But no matter what one thing remains the same,

Everyone has something or someone they care about,
And if you really care about something, you should never let it go,
Because only by caring,
Will we ever truly grow

Your voice wafted through my soul like a breeze through an open window,
With every word, I melted a bit more,
It was then that I realized I was falling,
But I didn't want to fall, for if you don't catch me I will shatter,
And I'm not quite sure if you can handle the weight of my heart,
And I'm not quite sure if after I break, would you glue me back together or sweep me away into a dust pan to be thrown out?

Words are the most versatile form of magic,
They can both heal and destroy,
A single word can break a heart or put it back together,
Words can ground you to reality or whisk you away to a place limited only by your imagination,

I embrace the power of words, but I also am wise enough to fear them,
Because words are the most dangerous weapon humanity owns,
Yet it is also the most easily accessible,
Isn't that ironic.

The sun in my eyes and the wind in my hair,
The open road ahead of us bringing us anywhere and nowhere,
We are driving without a destination,
For once, not searching to be at a location,

The radio is blasting Van Halen,
Bringing us back to the days when,
We didn't have a care in the world because we weren't yet older,
And the sun placed gentle kisses on our shoulders,

And the best part is that we are together,
In hard times and times like these,
We are together,
We will always be togther,
Because you are my best friends, my family,
And that will never change.
