Now nothing seems so strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how I thought those days would never end
Sometimes I hear that song, and I start to sing along
And think, “Man, I’d like to see that girl again.”
- Kid Rock, “All Summer Long”
Rock N’ Roll Jesus, 2007 Atlantic Records
Sunshine and summertime now gives way to rain falling angry on tin roofs. Seasons can be more fickle than ex-girlfriends and crushes, lasting no longer than three months, at best. Then again, that has always been the way of the seasons: they never stay with you longer than you want them to.
At least for this year, the season has passed. Like ex-girlfriends and crushes, it’s hard to let go of it all. Then again, there’s always the next summer to look forward to.
