Velvet

Summer came creeping in slowly
Sitting underneath a night sky
Whispering voices ever so lowly
Crickets the only sound nearby
Cold metal of an old blue truck
Freedom tasted like Smirnoff Ice
Alone, but only out of dumb luck
Your touch gave my skin a shiver
Feeling only acceptance and love
Falling harder next to the river
A thought until then unheard of
Sweet memories of a life so nice
Close my eyes, I can be eighteen
I can smell grass and pine trees
Transport me to the places unseen
And a time to put my soul at ease

Title inspired by Third Eye Blind . Semi Charmed Life
