That was Summer

Have you ever tasted summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when we went to Mission Bay

or went to the ice cream shop

and sat on the beach to eat our ice cream

and it melted on our tongues?

Remember when we finished and played at the playground?

That was Summer.

Have you ever smelt summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time we went swimming

and you could smell the salty sea water

and the seashells smelt like there was dead fish in there?

Remember the smell was still in your towel when you got home?

That was summer.

Have you ever touched summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when you played interclass baseball

or finally getting to have a match against your friends

and won

and the feeling of victory?

Remember when we celebrated by eating ice blocks?

That was Summer.

Have you ever heard Summer?

Sure you have.

Remember when you walked into class

or heard your friends talking to one another

and you say ‘Good Morning’ to your teacher

and then go put your bag in the cloak bay?

Remember how you sat quietly while your teacher was taking the roll.

That was Summer.

Have you ever tasted summer?

Sure you have.

Remember that time you were at the Night Markets

or when you were waiting in line

and you finally got your churro

and you started looking at all the other different accessories you could buy.

Remember how you could smell a bunch of different varieties of foods when you walked into the Night Market?

That was Summer.
