Young Hearts

Here,

In the summer when the sun leaves later

We sat under the plum tree

Hearing the hum of the cicadas

We become free

Fireflies, lantern

The fields of our youth

Ever feel the sky's amber

Dust,

Brings a calming glow

Like a brush

We can kiss and my mom won't know

And I promise

Tonight to be honest

My pot grows cold

Don't tell us that we're too young

And the blinds won't hold

But I feel like

This is for real life

Forever

I'm squeezing your hand in a trance

That's so clever

Dandelions explode

The wind blows tender

Will I still be outside of your window in september?

Who knows when the days are like years

And my big little heart says

"Stay the night here"

Knowin' I can't

And I won't

But I want to

Suddenly I'm brave enough

To tell you that I love you

In the summer when the sun stays longer

And everyday is sunday

There's no place to complain

Two hearts unchained,

Kids fallin' fast

Bear for thunderwaves

We're fallin' in the grass

Left it spillin' like

Water from a bucket

Life was so luscious

Now we're both thrushes[?]

How much is a popsicle

Cause I'm treatin'

We leave the red stains on our faces while we eat 'em

On the swings like the wings of a lovebird

Children upping forts in the passion of the suburb

We plan for the next minute

We abandon our plan

And the very second we're in it

Cause these are like the days to be timid

An its ink will confess

The note I will ask you

But please, certain yes

Maybe all I can remember are the fun parts

Or have we just grown too old for our young hearts?

In the summer when the sun starts humming something beautiful

Before we ever saw our first funeral

Before we ever cried over love and its little quirks

We just like the way it felt not knowing if it will hurt one day

I used to scribble[?] your name on my arm

Now I'm looking at your text not knowing what to respond

All the poetry escapes me

I wonder how we've forgotten

The bliss in waitin' an eternity for a kiss

An eternal leave we'll miss

The days your parents thought we were cute

Now I'm no longer welcome in your home

No shelter from the storm

Back then the clouds all seemed pretty

We learned later how it felt to be alone

Stomp every mountain in the cold

Young love is like icecream

I'm the cancer and you're the pisces

Why do we grow like a cancer?

I'm lookin' for that old answer to the question

"Do you like me?"
