Bronzed goddess savior with a septum ring and easy smile
\nIsland girl comes to the rescue I just met you but it doesn’t matter
\nMy soul already knows my soul knows that it knows yours
\nPaddle boarding take me to your favorite beach kiss me ocean salty lover sweet
\nWhy didn’t I meet you sooner and why do I have to leave<\/p>\n
4th of July straight from Lanikai to catch a flight my swimsuit soaking through my clothes
\nAnd your car but you make sure I understand that you don’t care it’s just saltwater
\nMore saltwater comes when we try to say goodbye why am I crying we just met
\nWhy is every part of me wet I just don’t get it<\/p>\n
Hair begins to dry crunched curls
\nSalt streaked cheeks from missing a girl
\nBefore my flight even takes off<\/p>\n
4th of July straight from Lanikai, made my flight but cried all the way to my gate
\nFireworks going off somewhere couldn’t care less a dripping mess I just feel wet
\nMissed her mouth all the way home didn’t matter to miss fireworks
\nShe brought more extravagance and light than they ever could have<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
