I remember smiling at the grass on the knees of my faded jeans And later scrubbing the smoke out of my hair and skin before bed That day when you patiently taught me to throw a Frisbee across the yard And ate peanut butter on s’mores because we forgot to buy the chocolate Sure it may seem insignificant Each detail I remember so clearly But four years later this still remains, My residual joy from that summer My only wish that had ever been granted at a bonfire in July Where 10 imperfect misfits found They were perfectly combined

A Bonfire in July
I remember smiling at the grass on the knees of my faded jeans And later scrubbing the smoke out of my hair and skin before bed That day when you patiently taught me to throw a Frisbee across the yard And ate peanut butter on s’mores because we forgot to buy the chocolate Sure it may seem insignificant Each detail I remember so clearly But four years later this still remains, My residual joy from that summer My only wish that had ever been granted at a bonfire in July Where 10 imperfect misfits found They were perfectly combined
