There I was, in the shower
Rubbing conditioner through my cropped hair
A flashback to warmer weather
Sunny days with verdant grass.
The sisters played sports together
So did we that day
I failed at passes to you,
But I was always sure to make a few at you.
Pastachio we read
Misspelled above the rocky road,
We read and re read
Flavors and each other.
What if I told you that on that day,
I loved you.
Just as much as the cappuccino chip ice cream
Melting all over my hand
You don’t like coffee.
You probably wouldn’t understand
And here’s another sunny day,
The grass still green
The breeze still warm
Throwing ***** from the hill
In those jeans you loved
Count to ten
Highs and lows
We were so close to a perfect score
Then we came in for a quick nap
You would play your games soon
I read sci-fi
You fell asleep
Inside the crook of my arm.
Time to wake up sleepy head.
Off you go,
Get out of bed.
Who would predict
Such an end.
