once upon a time you looked at this boy as though his eyes led you to another universe you would savor the taste of his rose lips against your own you laid in the park motionless both of you were afraid to make the first move and eventually, he did and that changed everything you spent all your spare time with him cuddling and watching movies and playing soccer in the park like nothing else in the world mattered that boy and that summer
but eventually the temperature began to fall along with the leaves on the trees and he went off to college but he came back on a cool fall night and you sat by the fire in his sweatpants while he held you and pressed his cold nose against yours and that night you cried yourself to sleep because you knew it was the end of that boy and that summer
