Open Letter To Summer 2014

I wanted to let Summer 2014 know how I felt about it, so I wrote a love letter to it, before it leaves for good.

Dear Summer 2014,

I miss you already. It must be love because I can tell you that you weren't as hot as you were last summer, and I don't get in trouble for it. I remember how you seemed to just show up out of nowhere. I had just gotten out of a terrible relationship with someone named Winter. Winter was cold and mean and never cared about me. Every time I thought Winter was gone, it came back for another miserable day (or week) or two. and of course, stayed way too long.

You, on the other hand arrived just on time for me. Sure I had a very quick fling with spring, but that only seemed to last a few days. After that, everything was about you. Beaches, boardwalks, time on the boat and parties in the backyard. You never missed any of them. You were there for me.

 And now I'm afraid I took you for granted, because I woke up this morning, and you were gone. No note, no gift, no goodbye. Just the memories of what we had. Sure, people say we still have a few weeks of you left, but it's just not the same. I will never forget you and the fun we had. So until next year, I will think of nothing but you. By the way, my wife loved you even more than I did.
