Summer hung on my fingertips
A careless bite between us
Half-melted words
Slipped down like silence
Maybe it was only sweetness
Lingering like something forgotten
One of us smiled too easily
The other stayed behind
A season stayed in my mouth
Our sugared hearts fading slow
Just a little more—
Remember that taste
It was love,
Before it all melted
One always melted first
The other watched too late
That quiet gap in warmth
Cooled everything we held
Days passed like missed signals
Cracks hiding in plain light
What dried between us
Never really left
A sleeping summer on my tongue
Only warmth in passing stays
Once you find it again,
It won’t be the same
The final bite,
Sweetness followed by a bitter heart
The one who fades
Sees the ending sooner
But we both were melting
Smiling through it all
Summer on my tongue,
Words I never could swallow
Now just an aftertaste remains
Once it's gone,
It means nothing at all
But still—
That feeling lingers
Even when it’s gone,
It sometimes returns to your tongue
