One Summer

a look

a glance

a nod

a dance

shy

nervous

timid

anxious

hands sweaty

gulping

eyes gaze

embrace

dancing

swaying

talking

lingering looks

long conversations

walking

phone calls

notes

sitting on grass

laughing

hugs

kiss

kiss

hearts flutter

new love

more notes

movies

longer walks

longer talks

many thoughts

sharing cassettes

evenings under moonlight

best friends

inseparable

holding hands

joy

content

happy

Summer ends

one last walk

one last talk

promise to write

downcast

saddened

one last kiss

long embrace

lingering

Sad good bye

tears

feigned stoicism

final wave

driving away

reread notes

longing

regret

remember

photos

a look

a glance
