That was Summer

Have you ever smelled summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you were window shopping

in a night market

or trying all the delightful food

and looking at all the alluring accessories?

Remember the ice cream’s scent

and the refreshing smell of mint?

That was summer.

Have you ever heard summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you relaxed on your chair

or were just chilling on the balcony

and you heard the croaking of the cicadas?

Remember how you tried to catch them

but they’re silenced?

That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you are betting with you friend

or just feel like a challenge

and you tried swimming in a river?

Remember how you felt so freezing and cold

but you still stayed in the river?

That was summer.

Have you ever tasted summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you are clenching an ice cream

or rummaging through the fridge looking for popsicles,

and how satisfying it is when you took a lick?

Remember how nice and cool the popsicles are

and the ice cream?

That was summer.

Have you ever felt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time when you came out of the house

waiting for the rain to stop

and caught a glimpse at the muddy and watery puddle

the rain had created?

That was summer.
