Sweet chocolate ice cream drips off your lip 
The water doesn’t give you goosebumps when you jump in
A cotton dress and some old sandals
A turkey sandwich resting on the blanket in the grass
The lightning bug hitching a ride in my car
Our lawn chairs shaded in the garage
A dog bowl full of water on the porch
Running barefoot across the hot pavement
June brings us the candid doings,
The sweet nothings that make up summertime
The simplicities that we’ll forget,
Until we meet her again
