there are people in love
and there are people on swings in the middle of the night holding someone's hand and there are people laying in their bed crying and they are sad but they won't be sad all their life
but someone should tell them that they need to know that and the people on the swings need to know that they need to engrave that moment in their mind and then maybe they won't end up like the person crying because they can remember when they were swinging
there are boys who are in love right now climbing up  into a bedroom window to sneak a girl out and hold her hand and make sure she doesn't hurt herself when she falls and it won't be like that forever and when she is back in bed she can think of his tight grip and the night air
and i don't believe in love but i believe in a feeling of butterflies in your stomach and falling asleep with a smile because of someone and it is not forever it is just temporary but in another way it is completely forever because you can never forget that person and you can never forget walking to 7/11 after a concert and buying out the whole store practically but the people who you are with turn in to ******* but in the memories they are not ******* and you can remember the summer air maybe and i feel like i'm really stupid for writing this
but maybe there is someone out there who is in love and even if i don't believe it maybe there is and i hope there is a couple swinging on swings and not letting go of each others hands even when the swings move in different rhythms and he is looking at her and he is thinking that she outshines the stars in the summer sky and she will probably grow up and they will not break up ever but on graduation when she goes to nyu and he goes to la they say goodbye and they both know that they are not going to be together but they don't want to break up and they never will because maybe she keeps his big t-shirts when she is lonely and on his drive to la maybe he listens to her favorite songs and they never forget each other ever and they are never really totally alone because they were together that night on the swings and that is enough
