summer

before you go away, i want to say

thank you.

you let me have all the free time i ever wanted.

you let

me sit in a loft with bright blue colors

and let

me write to my heart's content.

summer

if you ever come around again, i have to say

you broke

my heart.

you made my best friend go away,

and then

you made her leave me forever.

summer

you ended on july 11th and you died on

august

10th.

summer

i used to melt in your arms to laugh and play

but this

year, it just wasn't the same.

summer

i promise, i'll miss you a lot

but this

time,

summer,

maybe it's better if you left for a while.

summer,

maybe it would be best if you left me alone.

summer,

maybe if you went away, i wouldn't have to think about you anymore.

summer

thank you.

even

though you're gone, i'll always remember you.

just like

her.

summer

goodbye for a while.

summer,

thanks for everything.

summer

i know you did what you could before that day.

summer

i know you tried to make me happy.

summer

i know that you didn't mean it

but you

knew the future

and you

didn't warn me.

...summer.

it's time for you to go.

farewell,

summer.

*disclaimer: i did lose a friend, but she did not die. she left. don't worry.*
