For some, letting go is as easy as untying a bow on the back of a summer dress Letting the strings softly slip through their fingers Feeling the cotton threads and whispering goodbye The field is filled with hazy summer light and nostalgic perfumes She licks the wine off her fingertips And smiles at him with a grin that hints of cinnamon They lay among the fireflies and junebugs Minds in faraway places Hearts anywhere but here She can hold the sadness that fills his eyes In the palms of her hands But she cannot keep it He tells her that she reminds him of gossamer She twirls her hair in knots He touches the strap of her dress
