Hey there kiddo

They say it's been the hottest summer yet
And I'll be the first one to bet
The stars are shining brightest down through the trees
For this summer when together was called you and me

Adventures to the lake and charlottes uptown
A sandy beach to watch the sun go down
The biggest smiles that never seem to leave
This summer that joy was pronounced 
Seth and car-lee

Finding the first star and sleeps in the car
Endless movies and late night stories
There's nothing I wouldn't trade for more time with you
The days when future pointed to kiddo and boo

Some nights like this my mind seems to go numb
Nothing enters my eyes and there's sand on my tongue
But This time around there's more hope to see
Nothing is too dark when I'm dreaming of Wendy

Uncertainty and fear, anxiety and tears
But
I'm not lost this time, I've still found a rhyme.
Cause fears got nothing on dinner out on the deck
This summer when love felt like kisses on the neck.

As sure as the heat at tomorrow's high noon
College days will be here too soon
Us two sweetumses will surely soon see
The future is also called "you and me."

The future can wait

When it's all said and done
Will you still be my sun?
I want Every hour starting yesterday 
Please, tell me what you'll say.

There's two things I can promise you
Two things I know to be true
The first you know and will love to hear
The second is simply nothing but fear.

My first promise sounds like this:
You're the one I want to miss
I'll put you above all the rest
I promise to give you my very best.

The second promise here it goes:
Pain will have its greatest show.
If we agree to put us at the first
I can promise you there will be hurt.

I'll call you each and every night
Voicemails will be a familiar sight
But voices only carry so far
Faces fade in the dark

You can come and visit me
So many adventures and things to see
But each Sunday afternoon
A goodbye will come too soon

I'll drive home to visit you
Old adventures will now feel new
We'll kiss like our first to the end of the day
But will that keep me from crying as I drive away?

No ones ever depressed at the beach
Kites and sun and sand on my feet
Will my mind be there with me?
Or will you be all i see?

Basketball, friends and senior year
You're gonna graduate with a cheer
Can you sleep with a closed door
When my shirts don't smell like me anymore?

Do you want me on every bad day?
Those days when we have nothing to say?
Will you want me when you're sick of missing me?
When giving ups the only option you see? 

I dream of you in the crowd cheering
As Crossfit events I've been fearing
I want to compete with you by my side
Sweaty kisses full hearts and smiles high

It's gonna be a mental game
When everyone tells you you're insane
For staying with a guy so far away
Will you be mine on that day?

Hey it's only three hours time
Not so far with excitement in mind
But it's a long three hours back
When you're going through a heart attack

You need to get sleep for tomorrow
But when I'm having a day of sorry
Will you stay up late
To accompany me on a cell phone date?

There's a lot of guys running around
And you are a lovely clown
When they see you all alone
Will I still be your one?

I want Christmas with you
And Easter too
Thanksgiving and New Years
And movies that bring us to tears
Maybe we'll have some kids
Fight sometimes when we flip our lids
Play the lava game- I dare ya
Visit Corey in Bulgaria
I want to be poor in Colorado 
With you and some avacado
A tiny house that freezes in winter
Switching turns praying at dinner

One thing I can't promise is that we won't change
That our lives may never be rearranged 
But I see us goingn to sky
And that, to me, is at least worth a try.
