Comments on 'An Affair of Summer'Nights are warm, and the days are young. This is summer, a time of freedom and self-renewal, at least for those of us who remember what it was like to be a child, freed from all care and worry by the end of a school year.
I look at you, but my eyes follow the dancing lights hovering above the back lawn, fireflies looking for love. Have we found love, I ask myself. Your stare is equally removed from me, looking somewhere off in the distance.
"You're so self-satisfied. I don't need you," you say, showing almost no emotion, "I've got to break..." But you stop. You've answered my question at least. I thought I'd found love, but I'd only found another failure. You stand and walk around the house. Eyes already blurred with tears I follow, though I don't try to stop you.
You climb into your Skylark without looking at me. After a moment in which I dream a thousand dreams you start the car, and I hear the radio through the open window, "...and it's all an affair of my life with the heroes and villains."2007-09-06T22:45:41Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/7989Comment on An Affair of Summer<p>Yous chose good songs</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/7989?basename=105722007-09-06T22:45:41ZKermitgorfhttp://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorfComment on An Affair of Summer<p>Nice work.

Then her comment is from ‘I Want to Break Free’ by Queen. And then we hear a snippet from ‘Heroes and Villains’ by The Beach Boys from the car radio.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/7989?basename=88072007-08-27T02:34:21ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
