A Summer Drive

The windows are down, and both of our hair is blowing in the wind

Completely free to move in whatever direction it chooses

Kind of like us

Senior year came quick and ended even quicker

As the last few strands of sunlight linger, so do we

It is hard to change, and to let go of your past

But we will travel down these winding roads on this sweet summer evening

We will scream each lyric and laugh loudly at each joke

Until our stomach’s ache and our lung’s burn

We will live in this moment for as long as we can

Because we know this summer’s got to end


The author's comments:

This poem was written about my best friend, and about spending our last summer together before college. It's a poem about appreciating what you have while you have it, and about accepting when it's time to let it go.
