Summer Crush

Be my summer crush

Hold me close

And let me touch

Your face

As I kiss you slowly 

On the street

And at the beach

And anywhere that we might be

My body trembling helplessly 

Shaking to the core

With the power of attraction 

A raging chain reaction 

To your beauty

And the love

So true 

I feel for you

So deeply

As we while away

The sultry days

And play through 

Loving nights

Know that this is true

And right

Know in your heart

In your soul 

That I

I can be myself

My true, whole self 

Only when I’m with you

And only when you’re with me

Expressing our love

Breathlessly

Hold on to that

As the days grow shorter 

Hold on to that

As the summer ends

And we have to 

Move away
