Inhaling the summer air I almost can't stand my love for it. It's that kind of love that sneaks up on you out of no where and you're back in that trance back in that all too familiar place. Everything I hate about summer, I have a strong desire for the rest of the year. What seems bothersome during summer seems like heaven during those other 9 months of wasted time. What I claim to hate about summer, I guess deep down I really love.
I love having to worry about getting sun burnt, I love having to deal with overly chlorinated, scraggly red hair, I love the bugs that nibble at my bare skin, I love having to worry about the sun melting my makeup away, I love that my top priority is having to find something meaningful to do, I love the things I hate.
I love the damp feeling of the grass, I love the late night party's, I love movie marathons in the sticky heat of my suburban home, I love being told to open my windows instead of wasting money on air conditioning, I love sunscreen and how it makes your skin almost unbearably reflective against the harsh sun and warm sand, I love not wearing sneakers and as a result having tar colored soles.
I love, love and therefore I love summer. Because summer is love. Summer is freedom, summer is relaxed, summer is exciting, summer is dramatic, summer is calm, summer is romantic, summer is freeing.
Summer is watermelon, summer is bare pantries, summer is experience, summer is sand covered scalps, summer is sweltering days splashing through retro sprinklers, summer is frozen Popsicles, summer is forgetting responsibilities, summer is sunglasses, summer is Golden tans, summer is burnt, summer is sweaty brows and upper lips, summer is 6-packs of mondos, summer is outdoor concerts, summer is sprouting freckles, summer is bikinis (especially itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow, polka dot bikinis), summer is reruns, summer is yearning for this passion to never leave, summer is bottled up smiles and laughter, summer is cookouts with old friends, summer is new friends, summer is fans rotating throughout deserted rooms, summer is hot, asphalt pavement, summer is crowded boardwalks,summer is power naps, summer is wet bathing suits,Summer is frying eggs on city sidewalks,summer is bubbles, summer is overworked, overheated car engines, summer is no schedule, summer is on a stoop, summer is children selling powdered lemonade, summer is trashy girls in bikinis at car washes, summer is dazzling fireworks, summer is baseball caps with rings of stained, sweat, summer is short shorts, summer is constant lulling buzz of lawnmowers, summer is frizzy hair,Summer is condensation dripping down dasani water bottles, summer is breezy,summer is worn in, old navy flip flops, summer is vacation, summer is air conditioned movie theaters, summer is cereal for dinner, summer is books on tape,summer is koolaid, summer is overcrowded city pools, summer is (the) lingering scent of chlorine, summer is hair down, top down, summer is water guns, summer is unemployment checks, summer is checkered picnic cloths, summer is picnics of ants, summer is beach bicycles,summer is homemade slip n' slides, summer is linen, summer is fleeting
