if you dont like us dont read it
summer essay, so far...
written by: aine carrol
this is it... i wrote it so now you can comment on it
because my friends are the best so i woudlnt even care if you trashed it... well maybe just a little bit
Im looking back now…
Sweet kisses, alcohol poisoning, and sad remarks
I guess im waiting for it to come together with this pleading expression on my face for summer to stay forever.
My friends crashing permanently into my life without a proper entrance and I couldn’t ask for more. We kept each other sane this summer.
Im writing this 3 weeks until summer is over I know… yet I still feel some what accomplished already. I think the expression, “Jumping off bridges is what we do best” most likely describes us all together. I can gladly say that I am the luckiest person in the entire world because I managed to seek out 4 girls who equally yet differently contain the highest level of crazy… which was perfect.
Our thirst quenched with beer, cigarettes were what we breathed, saccadas were the song, and hot air was the smell. Emma grew up maybe when everyone else thought she was forever thirteen. And finally Emily didn’t have to stop, she just let it all come in through her green eyes.
While endlessly screaming her songs, Mary was the perfect extreme.
And a little lost at first Paige, blew up any self doubt and finally trusted what she always preached.
Oh yea… I guess I kind of feel like I sat back and watched.
We were invincible, and the only reason I’m writing this now is so I can read over this when I’m 30 and remember that I have an amazing book to write, which hopefully will give me enough money to buy a little shack on the beach where I can pathetically try to recreate a untouchable season. A place where I can write about my stupid, regretless, chapped lip, broken condom, reefer reeked, chlorine infected, tobacco tongued, emo, dandelion summers.
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon
It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last
It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses
My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake
Maybe you were all faster than me
Give each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses
And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses
i love my friends
