A poem I wrote sometime ago about summer romances.
I remember it clearly
The first day we met
A boy in swim trunks hanging with his friends
And there I was awkward and shy
Uncomfortable with my body in a 2 piece swimsuit I was forced to try
They told me that guys would flock. that my proportions were perfect especially my top
Guys looked and laughed and teased as I stood there awkwardly in the salty breeze.
Then you walked over tall and strong
Your chiseled figure dripping with water being dried by the sun
Your beach tan so perfect and natural and cool
Your smile inviting and before I knew it I fell for you.
I remember how you chatted up that awkward girl that day
Throwing what seemed like sincere compliments her way
Your friends played jealous of something I couldn’t see, but I knew that I enjoyed the time spent just you and me
I remember when you asked me out with a coke can on a hot day
On the back written in sharpie was what you wanted to say
Meekly I said yes and you took me into your arms
That was the day I ignored the alarms
“Summer loves never last forever” they warned
We didn’t care we loved one another just the same
You know I also remember the first day of school
You were dressed in jeans, a plaid shirt, and new shoes
You leaned on the locker your messy hair fixed
Someone moved out the way and there was another girl hearing your voice
She believed you as did I when you said my awkwardness was nice
But now I know and won’t ever forget the falseness in any summer romance.
