Saying Goodbye to Summer

you know, i guess summer's just there, and you can't avoid it.
because... well, i guess summer means crawling back into bed and pulling the covers over your head at 11am to listen to the radio blast and try to relax. summer is trying to get out of doing chores and homework and taking care of your siblings. summer is flipping through weekly ads looking for supplies on sale. summer is begging your parents for this and that because you didn't have time to during the school year. summer is running outside in the grass through sprinklers with jeans and a tank top still on. summer is biking over every day to the high school to watch football. summer is throwing a tennis ball and being dragged down the street by a dog. summer is spending endless hours in front of the laptop IMing and emailing and watching stupid youtube vids until you fall asleep. summer is staying up until 3am listening to your mp3 because you don't have to get up at 6am the next morning. summer is summer.
so we'll let summer be summer and say goodbye because we can't ignore it and we can't hold on to it, either.
