beads of sweat drop down your face
as the steering wheel burns your hands
the sun's made it too hot to touch
roll the windows down to let the air in
the temperature will become more bearable in the wind
as you start the car, you look out to see
everyone else leaving and laughing in good spirits
it's a pristine day for pristine hearts
departing from the parking lot
and as you drive towards the beach
listening to your favorite songs
while the breeze cools you down
you're at peace for what feels like the first time
in a long time since the last time summer came
poetry
