seven

I like so many songs that it's almost impossible to choose a favorite, but I do love "Seven" by Taylor Swift. The dreamy, wistful lyrics and soft melody take you back to a summer memory from early childhood--a memory that has been torn and blurred, but is still there nontheless, in the form of sweet tea settling on your tongue, of folklore passed on through generations. It tells of a love between two friends who dream of running away and being pirates and escaping all the hardship in their young lives, as wild and free as they every will be.

    Are you apprehensive of the new sphere you are about to enter?

    Because I fear

    For the warm skin

    It's sand, mud and dirt

    but some see the blue beyond

    and call it a beach.

     

    She almost forgets.

    Summer nights still taste like smoke

    and fireflies still dance.
