Everything

I was everything you wanted,
and it wasn't a question,
just a blue-souled complication,
just a summer of secrets
and my heartbreak smile.

I was everything you wanted,
and you were everything
I was looking for--
your wrecking smile,
your unassuming trust,
your failsafe caress:
we were just a summer.

Just a summer, then,
but everything behind was left,
and everything ahead is next,
a long time gone, a curious thing,
both running away from ghosts,
and here we are, again,
at the crossroads
of a summer--
what will you do?
