She reminds me of days spent in summer,
The early morning sun staining my skin,
Early morning,
Dew still blankets the grass beneath my feet,
It glistens like her eyes,
I smile at her smile, her smiling at me,
I remember racing down hills,
Oh how she makes my heart race,
When I can't run anymore, the fall, the loss of breath,
The earths embrace, she is it.
She reminds me of my youth,
Of a time when time didn't matter, when joy was found in everything,
I found everything in her.
Impossible to place, the day I bordered up my heart like some rundown orphanage,
Built up walls of hostility and stone to keep the ****** thing from hurting anymore,
But,
You were an unstoppable force and all I had were walls,
You tore them down like the school on Coleridge Street after it caught fire,
I didn't stand a chance,
I hope you'll take a chance on me.

She reminds me of days spent in summer,
I want to spend winter with you.
Hibernate in each other's arms,
Freezing, were I frozen,
We could freeze together but that your touch is fire, burning my skin,
You thawed me out and left me vulnerable,
A raw nerve,
You are ice cream on sensitive teeth and I don't want to stop biting,
You shock me, set electricity coursing through my veins,
I feel alive!
You're my defibrillator,
If you were mine.
