It’s summer now

The worst season in my book

It’s way too hot

At the sun I can’t look

But all will end

When three months pass

When it’s finally September

I hope it’ll go by fast

But as I return,

Not all is as divine

For my friend is leaving

I try not to cry

She won’t be here

To comfort me with care

To knock sense into me

So at my crush I don’t glare

I still look forward to school

For geography awaits

There are essays to be written

By astonishing dates

Algebra is to be solved

And books are to be read

Long lunches are a staple

Vending machines are ahead

But the best part

Of returning to school

Is seeing my friends

Who are oh so very cool

One is a great hugger

One is really sweet

One is super awesome

They’re all really neat

So returning to school

Is an exciting time

Also a reminder

Of the loss of a friend of mine
