I find him in a backyard with a front-toothed gap

the stereo is broken and the sunny days are too limited.

The grass is freshly cut and so is his long hair

the daisies howl about how the sunny days are too limited.

I am freshly fifteen, he is a musty shade of fluency

but in December the sunny days are too limited

April smelled like rain and May runs in the opposite direction

but still, the wind agrees the sunny days are too limited.

His lips are like tasting cherry soda on a Friday,

and it seems as though the sunny days are too limited.

In my heart swim butterflies and in his eyes pose warmth

greeting me as the sunny days become more limited.

And slowly as the clouds drift by he whispers in my ear,

the sunny days will always be too limited.
