I fell in love
With the spring
And I swear to God
In those warm months, I felt everything
I could breathe
Without the air stinging my lungs
And I could speak
Without tripping over my tongue
Then August came
The heat was creeping in
I was more in love
And it was hotter than it'd ever been
I was so naive
Savoring every word she said
I let her soothe me
And placate the demons in my head
And I could touch without feeling scared
Oh, and I could rush, head first, thinking she'd be there
