Heatwave Romance

by Bridget Martin, 2026

 

We fell in love

During the heat wave

Of 25’

I’ve always craved

The fever of June

Our hands stick together

A mixture of ice cream sunscreen and sweat

Act as glue

“I’ll never let go of you”

A joke but it’s true

Because I don’t want you to

We sit in the sand

Of my favorite beach

A small sacred place

I only show those

Who’ve earned my trust

Our second date

I’ve learned to listen

To my instincts

That tell me that it’s right

Falling in love fast

The rush of it

Pulses in my veins

The summer heat

Does not compare to

To the flame in my heart

The look in your eyes

Tells me you feel it too

“Let’s do this again tomorrow”

And we do
