SUMMER
Summer. The only time of
the year where you are the most free. It's where you can truly be
yourself.
Summer is when I met him. Tall (about 6 feet), blonde hair and the
prettiest blue eyes framed with long pale lashes and pink lips. He
looked like a surfer boy straight out of Cali.
I had been at the beach with my friend when it happened. I was laying on
my towel and catching some sun, when I was hit with a beach ball. I
looked up when a shadow had fallen over me, and the second my eyes
locked on his, I was a goner.
"No, no way. You won't do it." He had smirked at me.
I raised and eyebrow and put my hands on my hips. "And why do you say
that?"
"Because I know you." He said.
He did, know me that is. He really did. He knew the things that made me
tick. But he was wrong just this once.
"And what do you think you know?"
He came up behind me and his arms snaked around my hips. "I think I know
you're too scared to do it...to scared to let yourself go and just have
fun." His breath brushing my neck and causing me to shiver.
I licked my chapped lips and pulled away. "I'm gonna do it."
He gave me a look that clearly said he doubted me. I met that look with
a determined one of my own as I reached behind me and took off my top,
leaving my chest bare.
The beach was empty this time of night, but still. I was taking a chance
of someone finding us, something I was always crazy about.
"Who's scared now?" I smirked, my hands on my hips.
His eyebrows were raised in surprise. "You win"
I squealed when he yanked me to him and pressed a kiss to my mouth.
He always dared me to do things that under normal circumstances I
wouldn't do. He got me to stay up late and go skinny dipping, go surfing
at night. He brought out a side of me that I never knew existed. He made
me feel alive. Able to read me just by glancing at my face.
But, sadly it had to end. We weren't meant to be a forever, but I
couldn't bring myself to really be sad. I couldn't be sad, because at
least it happened. At least I had a time in my life where I felt truly
free, and truly loved. And I knew, I knew that no one would ever be able
to love me as much as he did. Why? Because he was my summer boy.
That kind of love, it only comes once in a lifetime. And when it
happens, it changes you, so irrevocably that you're a completely
different person. Or maybe, you're the person you were always destined
to be. I just know, that I could never be sad. We happened, and that's
that.
Summer romance may last for a few months, but the love you feel? That
lasts a lifetime.
