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.

Separation can often feel like death, and I had the same impression as Dharrsheena before the disclaimer. Beautifully written poem on loss and remembering, it's so hard to part ways.
Thank you for the disclaimer, I was so worried. But I'm so sorry she left 🥺 It's never easy losing a friend. Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
