Summer Nights

I look forward to

The long summer nights,

When we’ll laugh until we’re gasping for air,

When we’ll run through the grass pelting each other with water balloons.

We’ll clink our glasses of water

And dig into our strawberry shortcake.

We’ll catch fireflies and watch as they glide away,

Their yellow stars glowing

As the sparkling white stars freckle the dark blue sky.
