Summers smiles shed and fade
Happiness dissolves to gray
Relationships twist and fray
And I promise them I'm here to stay

Summers heat simmers out
People distance with doubt
His touch cooling down
I step back to look around
Frozen there, in fear and terror
Alone in a crowed, a single smile in a sea of frown

Summer breeze starts to stale
Remind myself to inhale
And force movement where it is still
I force against gravity and will
And smile
I will
