I remember summertime
All the sweat going down my spine
Glistening in river light
Two bodies holding on
White water in the sun
Squinting at the bright reflection on the stone
Through a valley, a quiet night
All those fireflies in our sight
Synchronized and moving to the heat lightning
Between the sounds you drew
And all these things that I hold onto
For they are worth, I don’t have a clue
I am lost in the innocence of my youth
As it rained in the sun and I ran through a thicket
Of rhododendrons
Barefoot and stung by all this love
So confidently shown
With the falling of our days
A wild look across your face
As autumn took all that you gave
It was then I became
So struck by the change
And still remained the same
