until I can come home and sleep in my own bed in my own room.
until I can lay about on the Westgates couch as the breeze flows in and out of the screen door while we watch our favorite movie.
until we can take random road trips, to all sorts of beaches with all kinds of people, and I can let the ocean take control of my body.
until my best friend and I can wait for the golden hour, and go about finding new places and random objects to capture in a new way with our other best friends, our cameras.
until my skin will start to turn the color that the winter never sees.
until I have more time to delve into all of the books I've been wanting to read, outside.
until I can wait for the summer nights where there's a thunderstorm, and be comforted as I fall asleep listening to the rain on my window.
until I can really look forward to the hot summer days that can only be cooled down by walking in the creek, eating ice cream, drinking milkshakes and smoothies, or even running in skirts out on my best friends front lawn, in her land lords sprinklers, hoping they won't catch us and think we're nuts.
until I can look forward to late nights, and savor all the sun that I possibly can.
until I am done with my first year at Kutztown.
Oh, what a summer this will be.
