Such lust upon my soul I’ve never felt
As when I saw June rise up from the sand
The grains slid down the silk of her sweet svelte
Like stones of price they glittered on her tan
💕
Such love upon my heart you rendered true
With waves of blue that grazed into my core
A lamb in trust my mind you took and slew
My summer love of nineteen eighty-four
💕
In loss and pain I search on every dune
The wind blows hard till sand it stings my eyes
With broken heart and mind I’ve lost my June
The clock has struck, the sands are now July’s
💕
With laden heart I know I must survive
Til June’s return in nineteen eighty-five.
Authors note- Folly Beach, Charleston, SC is real. For a classic beach experience of the surf, sands, pavilions, and new friends, you can’t beat it. Thanks for dredging up the memories Vocal. I’m packing my bag now. June is right around the corner. 💕

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

That was a great read, Scott! June is definitely quite something. ;-)
