A Summer with You

This is a poem I had written many, many years previously, to a girl that I lost. We were supposed to meet for the very first time, but it never happened. Sounds sappy, but the poem is heartfelt.

The time has come-

I have arrived.

I see that smile,

And twinkle in your eye.

It may be a tear,

Born from joy.

I feel my eyes water

After hearing your voice.

Your mouth hung open,

I look into your eyes,

And here you come running,

Ready to cry.

I feel your arms

Locked ‘round my neck.

Your face buried in my shoulder-

I feel every breath.

That smile you give me,

Which the sun makes brighter,

Makes everything better

And my stress much lighter.

“Come now,” you say,

And I begin to follow.

You pull me toward the family

Whose hearts are not hollow.

At the moment,

I sit and stir in my room,

Praying that this coming summer

Will get here soon.

Aw I love this! So cute and touching. Reminds me of when I first met someone for real after chatting online for awhile. Nice write. Though it is an older one of yours I enjoy it and I enjoy the sappy aspect. I'm a sucker for sappy and slightly dorky poems. :) It's nice when not every poem is pretentious but more innocent. Innocent love.

I think sappiness is still a charmer, in some regard, when it comes to love hahah :D

Very true. Nothing like a good old fashioned dinner and movie date with an awkward trip or soda spill somewhere in there. haha :) classic

Eh, I wouldn't know; I've never been on a date before hahah :D

Sometimes an imaginary date plays out better than a real one lol I'm not a chick flick girl so I've watched too many sci fi and fantasy movies to judge what an ideal date should be haha :)
