in the way
her voice has a tone of purified anguish
it reminds me of a summer spent with you
at the edge of innocence
peering into the abyss of experience
that final kiss before the fall
and
how every summer since has held a sense of loss.
the girl's voice - sweet and heartbreaking
carries the same tune
maybe that's why you love her
why i can't look her in the eyes.
