Our Summer Romance

The first time when I saw that smile I knew it would be one that would last awhile. I didn't know it would give me a chance to have my first in a summer romance.

You took my heart in your hand

opening my eyes to see a sacred land

the world was a beautiful place

with blue skies and your gorgeous face.

The sun was shining high in the sky

and the birds sang while floating by;

all along, this would be our secret plan

that only the two of us could understand.

 

We promised each other with love that we grew

we would escape reality anytime we were through.

The land that we both made up together

would be our own place for now and forever.

Words of joy would wash through the waters,

the power from our hearts would reject all the haters.

It was our land to love and hold

and in it, the sunshine would never make us alone.

 

Our love in this land was eternal

until a storm came and washed away our normal.

You looked at me with guilt in your eyes

and told me the world we lived in was just lies.

You left just after the few words: I love you

and now my whole belief to the world is not true.

The world that we both made together hand in hand

is now a barren, lonely, broken land.

 

I had fallen in love with the land because of you

and the gorgeous face I once did know, I no longer actually knew.

You left without giving me what we thought would be our first dance

while the world crashed around my heart, ending our summer romance.

I fell in love with our fantasy that we had built

and today when I look back, all I feel is guilt.

For I still love you and the world that was once beautiful

and the memories that I contain are still meaningful.

 

It was my first summer romance

and the first time I felt like I had a chance.

But it ended too quickly because of that storm

causing death to our land and doing myself harm.

My summer romance is one I won't forget

because that land is one that can't be overstepped.

It will stay with me all my life and in my mind

because it was my first love that left be blind.

 

It was summer time in our land

and the sun did shine while we walked hand in hand.

The gorgeous face that I loved looked down at me

smiling and promising that this is how we will become free.

The birds sang their song of joy

and for a moment, we weren't just a girl and boy.

We were a queen and king in this world

that soon became ruined when the colors all swirled.

 

Our summer romance.
