This is their summer:
Dew drops on blades of grass that fit just between the cracks of her fingers; dandelions that he likes to pluck and make private wishes as he blows them into the wind, then watch as their seeds twine through the strands of her hair.
Vintage tank tops, ripped jeans, and bare feet, toenails painted in the only shade of pink she owns.
He asks for her input on G-chords and time changes, writes lyrics with her in mind but never tells her that she's the one he's thinking of.
She brushes the dust off her drumsticks because the constant rhythm reminds her of his fingertips, tapping on her thigh as he teaches her something about music theory.
In a bed of itchy grass by a set of rusty swings, his hand finds the palm of hers, seeking out a moment of bravery.
This is their summer.
