it was summer last year
when you first held my hand
ever so secretly
in the eyes of the public

it was summer last year
when we first shared a can of coke
ever so slowly
staring at the sunset

it was summer last year
when you walked me home
ever so gentlemanly
making sure i was protected en route to my house

it was summer last year
when everything started
ever-

everything ended
when summer ended.
