Vanity Card #8

By Alejandra CarrascoPublished 5 years ago • 1 min read

I miss summer days. Liberation. Warm sleepless nights. The tint of your loved one's hair. The smile they give you when the sun sets. Sweaty hands clasping as you both leap over the cliff. Drinking without consequence because time lasts forever. Saying "I love you" when the tide rolls in. The everlasting freckles that are conjured under the nourishing sun. Summer days are to live for in rural British Columbia. It's worth the winters that deplete me of color and spirit. It's worth the constant intake of vitamin D supplement when night falls before dinner time. I miss summer days. Liberation. Yes, I long for it. Liberation.
