marlboro midnights and backseat romances;;
this love surprised the hell out of me
[but this lust was oh-so-expected;;]
now I’m biting my tongue [or is that yours, bby?]
& hoping we never have to say goodbye;;
& sometimes it’s easier to pretend
that this summer’s never gonna pass
than to admit it’s (closing in) around us-
[& we’re flipping lucky cigarettes
wishing on stars
& collecting shiny pennies--
thinking they might make the difference.]
& this humidity is getting to me
while humility is still so far away;
& you know I’d like to promise you a good time,
[but darling,] this is the only one I have-
(& it’s ending all too soon.)
so promise me this:
I’ll always be the best summertime.secret you just couldn’t keep.

I hate summer romances.
They always end like shit.
That's why I've [finally] learned to avoid them.
I love the way you write.
Very blunt,
but still poetic.
It's a hard balance to achieve.
Great poooooooem. -
