Wasting
I spent the summer wasting,
The time was passed so easily.
But if the summer's wasted
How come that I could feel so free?
I spent the summer wasting,
The sky was blue beyond compare.
A photograph of myself
Is all I have to show for
The sunset tonight was lovely. That's it just up there. Sarah, Rachel, and I braved a ravine behind Grandpa and Grandma's house tonight to see it.
I have been reading and walking and chopping things with my new knife.
I'm moving in to my house in Provo tomorrow.
I am excited.
I miss my family.
I miss my friends.
I miss my dog.
But I am excited anyway.
So I am doing laundry.
And I don't even mind.
I spent the summer wasting,
The time was passed so pleasantly.
Say cheerio to books now!
The only things I'll read are faces.
I spent the summer wasting
Under a canopy of
Seven weeks of river walkways,
Seven weeks of reading papers,
Seven weeks of feeling guilty,
Seven weeks of staying up all night.
Summer in winter,
Winter in springtime,
You heard the bird say:
Everything will be fine.
