The Summer of Susan Love's a funny thing You don't look for it, it finds you and when it hits - oh lordy Do the senses come alive with the brush of skin on skin stirring a dizziness while the sweetness of those kisses could never end Older and wiser though far from invulnerable one summer He'd lost his resolve, finding himself unlike he'd been before with masks stripped and the borders dropped He stood bare -heart on his sleeve Unless you'd turned to ice, and were frozen to the core I'm sure you'd have known the deal, and if you'd seen this all before with faith restored you'd know those feelings were real and wouldn't soon be leaving that scene It was the summer that he met Susan the summer that changed everything and he was wondering what to do when he checked out of the deep freeze into the warm summer air Then came their questions, the uncertainty about the future quite rightly but who gives a care about the future when the one you love is right in front of you? Then came their plans, the hope about life which we need for survival, which is the meaning of life our dependence on another day yet to come for salvation Then came their schemes The intricate webs of truth and dare borne of minds on fire and hearts of passion whose point was the focus of two people longing for each other at any cost Yet to come, the moments rehearsed a thousand times played out in slow motion but never exactly as imagined making our explanations after the fact after the decisions are all said and done because their hearts had made the decisions for them Now he'd had his summer of Susan and He'd be needing the rest of his life with her too kayaky
