Farewell to summer

Summer's almost over. I can count the days now on one hand.
And that is a sad sad thing.
No more late night adventures.
No more sleeping in til noon and staying up 'til 3 in the A.M.
No more singing to strangers in other cars,
No more random chalk adventures.
No more swimming and tanning.
No more flip flops and shorts.
No more playing fugitive.
Goodbye to sleepovers and camping under the stars.
Goodbye to fireworks.
Goodbye popsicles and lemonade stands.
Goodbye snowcones the size of my head. 
Goodbye to no responsibilities.
Goodbye to summer.
I've done so many fun things and had so many spontaneous adventures this summer. I've gotten pulled over by cops and won at lazer tag. I've done by fair share of sleeping until noon. Seeing midnight movies and musicals. My sister got married. I still have so much I want to do. And so little time left to do it.
In a few days I'll be going back to school, and the juggling act of homework, football games, dances, rehearsals, and other responsiblities will begin and we'll count down again 'til summer.
Until then.
LIVE IT UP
