Kids Of Summer (Unfinished)



Our days were spent as if there wasn’t a care in the world
And for a short while, there wasn’t.
The beach was our haven
And our rented summer house was a place where
If we imagined it,
It was attainable.
But that was the dream they sold us.
Come for a visit
And maybe even stay a while
The ocean’s out back
And every picture you post of the “good life” will make you the envy of your friends.
It’s the good life they said.
And it was the good life that we were searching for.
But that was the dream that they sold us,
And the dream?
The dream is what we wanted.

In The Mornings



In the mornings,
Right before the busyness of life begins,
Past lovers of the night hold hands.
They revel in the freedom of the brisk air,
And marvel at the sparkles in the sky.
They kiss passionately with the biggest stars watching them.
Time is slowed.
Breathing is heavy.
Love is real.
It is in the mornings,
Right before the busyness of life begins,
That I believe in Love the most
