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
