Summer in a cabin by the Lake

[Jennieglenn]

That summer

That wonderful, dreamy summer,

That summer when

All my dreams came to life

He was there

Face to face with me

That hellogoodbye song ringing in my head:

"Our cheeks can brush, our lips can touch, here"

That here was that cabin

Alive with the melodies of rock songs,

Windows covered, with dust, but we fret not,

the outer conditions could not pierce our force-field of emotions

We only saw each other

Eyes locked, we saw nothing else

Even as we walked in the sand,

Hand in hand

The water caressed my feet,

As we sat in the sand,

My back against his chest

His chin resting on my head

Day after day

The same, spending the days

Of our perfect summer

In each others’ arms

Each night

Falling asleep in his lap

And waking in the same place

Warm and feeling loved, safe, wanted, needed.

A fog comes over these

Perfect days,

A daze

It seems

Confusion sets in

But his eyes are steadfast

After all, they are my heart’s caste

Under their gaze I collapse like tin.

The mist won’t rise

Why must it ruin

Another day in paradise?

A noise comes then

A shrieking beeping noise

And to my dismay

I awake from my hopeful slumber

As I come to that realization

I weep for that summer

That cabin by the lake

Even if it is just in my dreams.
