Summertime Bliss — Valerie Quijada
a sweet sensation
you know me better than most people, the reason i am always open to you
you know that summertime is always hard for me
being away from what i know most, making me more and more dull each day
making me insane and impatient on what these hot, blistering days will hold for me
but when you are here, with me, oh, what bliss it is to me and my wellbeing
when i see you arrive at my front porch i always get nervous, but feel relieved
opening the door to let you in, feeling the warm, grass scented summer air flow at me
as if you yourself are using the air to let me know that it’s okay to finally step out
knowing that i haven’t all day, you take me to explore what i am missing out on
the hot wind blowing through our hair with the windows down in your car, tranquility
buying me food and lots of vanilla milkshakes, knowing that it melts when i talk to you
walking downtown while holding me, making me feel safe, protected by your big arms
those big arms that will later wrap around me while making out in your hot car
the nighttime summer air making us sweat with passion
my vanilla perfume lingering, my crème brûlée flavored lip gloss on your lips
not caring about a single thing in the world, what summertime should be all about
you then take me home, sending me off with a big hug and a big kiss
leaving me to reminisce our day, feeling alone and sad that you’re gone
you know me better than most people, the reason i am always open to you
you know that summertime is always hard for me
but as i lay myself to sleep, i am not so scared anymore
because i know that each time i get to see you, i will get to feel that bliss
that summertime bliss again
and oh, does it feel good
