The summer after 8th grade, before high school. A blast of freedom and expectation before dread sets in.
...

lyrics

It’s the start of summer! 8th grade’s done and gone.
It’s the start of summer! Finally warm enough.
Matt’s out with his pals; don’t want to bug these days.
Mom’s in a good phase. Dad’s always working late.

First time they’ve granted freedom that I’ve craved. Bike off on my own, back by certain time? "Okay." New comics Wednesday, Dream Factory’s the place. Down to Sike’s arcade, Time Soldiers, hours blown away. Never been down that street, I’ll see where it leads. Each day’s adventure, sweltering continually.

It’s the heart of summer! Debbie’s on radio.
It’s the heart of summer! Time to let hair grow.
Almost don’t hate this town, now that I’m not trapped.
Sun stays out way past 8, but I know won’t last.

Late July, here comes dread, impending fall. But this year, first time, dare to have a hint of hope. Catholic to public, maybe finally make friends who can relate, stay in touch during breaks. Anything could happen, high school great unknown. Fear meets excitement, but hey, summer, can you pause?

It’s the end of summer! Wish it would not be.
My hell’s just got bigger. Still afraid to speak.
Soon too cold to ride bike. Hope’s again on hold.
Till next start of summer!
