I saw the way it lit your eyes. Since childhood the thrill of melting wax and hissing fuse spurred such excitement for being alive.

I wish for it to be an eternal summer: getting drunk on joyful company of friends underneath a blanket of stars. Not on the bitter wish of forgetting the words he once said.
