Summer Skin

The thing i love about Tingy87 is that she's always just a call away. we'd wake up at 2pm on a saturday afternoon, have a standard opening whatsapp line, call each other and blabber nonsense for an hour before we decide to do something spontaneously. This was just another of those saturdays, one filled with a very short dress, me making her pose in a silly fashion, sweltering under the relentless sun, hideous laughters, and island cremery.

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we left our love in our summer skin
