Everything was all so familiar
My legs burned as i sat on the hot stone front porch in my lucky brand shorts
the sun shown in my swollen eyes as i remembered when all was fine with you and i

In this very spot you sat hear with me eating strawberries just last June
i remember thinking that those were the most beautiful, satisfying, redolent strawberries
and even though we were eating them off styrofoam china ware, sipping our country time lemonade, when i looked up from my empty plate and looked into you eyes i saw something i've never seen,
love
I recall thinking to myself, he is in love with me. And all i was doing was being my self.
young and naive

As we spent the summer watching fireworks, swimming in the pond, going to picnics at the park, afterwards taking a leisurely walk along the shore sharing our deepest secrets and most
embarrassing stories, i fell more in love.

I thought you were too

By late july, it was over. I didn't understand and i still don't.
I thought i was over it, but thinking about that day i saw true love for the first time, i know
i will never truly move on.
