Take Me Back

 
Take me back to last summer when sleep didn’t exist.  
All I have memories of is your body wrapped in nothing  
but thick warm clouds of smoke.  
Our hands held each other like  
we were holding onto our last cigarette.  
You and I were like fire and kerosene  
but what we did that summer was magical.  
My love, you were everything I could ever ask  
but you were killing me and I loved it.  
You and I were like fire and kerosene  
but our love was magical.  
Or the love I thought we had.  
That summer we did everything we weren’t supposed to  
and it made us happy.  
Take me back to that summer that filled with nothing  
but stargazing and different color liquor every weekend.  
Living off of Twixs and Fruit Loops  
because those were your favorite.  
Take me back to that summer when we were the only two souls  
that mattered to us.  
Me, you, and a bottle Jack.  
My favorite memory was the way you kissed me back  
without question that night under the stars.  
You and I were like fire and kerosene and our kisses were magical.  
But it turns out we just weren’t compatible  
Founded on our mutual need for company,
Our memories pieced fuzzily,
Our intentions quite puzzling.  
We knew nothing of each other  
only that we both loved the booze.
Take me back to last summer  
When I didn’t feel alone.
