You wore green like a citrus breeze
Laughing hard, knees in the trees
The pavement sparkled, sun ran high
Time slipped through a soda sky
You bit your straw, I caught your grin
We talked of places we’d never been
The traffic hummed, a quiet drum
But all I heard was “Here we come”
You called it “just a summer fling”
But I felt more in everything
Your shoulder brushed, I lost the thread
Of what I was about to say instead
You lit the clouds with lemon light
We spun in circles, left to right
You fizzed in every word you said
My cheeks went pink, my heart turned red
And just before the evening died
We kissed beneath the lime soda sky
The sun dipped low like melting ice
But nothing sweet could taste this nice
We didn’t plan, we didn’t try
We just let time and breeze collide
I bottled you inside my chest
That day outshined all of the rest
I sip the echo when I’m dry
A memory too clear to lie
You lit the clouds with lemon light
You laughed and pulled me into flight
We didn’t even say goodbye
But I still live in that July
The bubbles burst, I don’t know why—
But I remember… lime soda sky
