It tastes like a long road trip
Where we chase the sunset till twilight
Droopy eyes and bobbing heads
Falling asleep to George Strait on the radio
It tastes like sunshine and laughter
Slices of oranges fill children’s smiles
Sticky fingers attack the sides of bellies
Love and admiration encompasses the pier
It tastes like the hottest day in July
Pool parties with friends
Sitting on the porch sipping peach tea
Gossiping about family drama
It tastes like a warm fuzzy feeling
Cuddling up by the fire
Sharing silly urban legends
In the cabin by the lake
It tastes like youth
Excitedly dressing up for Halloween
Anticipating the sugar-induced coma
Ready for what the eerie night brings
It tastes like slow dancing
Clinging onto the one you love
Stolen glances as we twirl across the room
Breathing the air shared between two kindred souls
It tastes like war
In the heat of the moment
Foe to foe meet hand to hand
Two sides of the same coin that fail to become one
It tastes like the start of tomorrow
Colors stretching out over the horizon
Cradling the birds as they wake
Waiting for the new day to begin
It tastes like happiness
The one that reaches your eyes
And takes your breath away
Always making you feel at home
