Today I felt free. I felt young and awake. Alive and ready. I jumped into that familiar jeep with all the summer music on, holding back my breath and wanting to relive the fragments of my summer that I left behind in this car. Thinking of floral swimsuits on school nights, wine coolers and country tailgates. And I pinched myself to force myself back to reality. Where things are new, where we are different people, where we have pasts and futures. And we drove around through our Ohio suburb laughing and letting the wind hit our faces with its fresh and warm wrath of spring air.
I laid back, looked at you and smiled. The scent of fresh air and young hearts in fields of green and flowers.
We sped fast. We jumped fences. We ran on football fields. We stargazed. We climbed rooftops. We laid. We laughed. We lost touch of reality.
And I hoped the night would never end. That this haze would last longer than the moonlight. But moonlight makes things easy, and in the morning life, love and happiness gets complicated.
