The sun on my unprotected skin stung
Like the first few pumps of that needle
Draining its ink into my blank canvas

The water froze the small of my back
As I cheered with excitement and
Taunted you to come forward with me

The happiness in my heart warmed me
As though it were a fire and my body was snow
The butterflies, although calm now, are always present

Summertime with you takes my breath away
