my summer is here again

oh, so happy,
this little smile
inside my chest, this
light, this
new small sprig of
something sweet, and
growing, day by day
by day by day...
i want to walk through
rose gardens laughing
and lay on the grass
blanketed by breeze,
squint up at you
with sun in my eyes,
and breathe in
your skin, freckled
and smooth like
cookie cream filling.
these days of late
have been my
reason why.


lately i've been so happy it hurts at times. i'm bursting at my seams and tearing at my sheets...

thank you,
thank you,
thank you.
