August Baptism extended

Hey baby, I guess here we go again

Down this reminiscing refrain

You know my mind goes back

To a euphoric Dog day Monday

Where the clouds where cotton candy fluffy

Thinking of that day really touches me

I remember you took off

So we can spend the day together

After a rough week, it seems we would sever

Going to Bob Evans for breakfast

Made things feel a little better

Also the magnificent upper 80 degree weather

Lord this day I will really treasure

It almost seemed like the beginning of something

Well it also was the ending

Just a little escape from our tense times

Just a bit of mending

My family was out of town that week

So the pool is free

Come on wouldn't it be fun to take a refreshing dip with me?

Let's jump in and wash all the stress away

Let's be children, baby lets laugh and play

Once we hopped in, boy I could stay all day

Until we're wrinkled like prunes

Immersed in this water we're so consumed

Talking, hugging

Loving and

Kissing

Bonding is what we've been missing

Giving each other our in depth interviews

Getting to know each again

Those specifics

Look at us together

The princess and the Prolific

You float atop of me

Like an ethereal angel

While it seems like we're up in the sky

Breathing in the atmosphere

Bathing in our personal lagoon

Afternoon luminosity, a daytime moon

Sky scraping the stratosphere

I guess that's the effect you get

When your house is up on a hill

Submerging playing our penny game

This day has been so surreal

Just for a couple hours say we forget our troubles

Enjoy nature and her elements

Anything beyond

You and this crystal clear pool

Is so irrelevant

Let's be kids and act like fools

I want to stay in here hugging you

With no cares

Hypnotizing each other with long stares

Straight into the twilight

When the sun disappears

It was something special about

Our private swim

The end of it is unfortunately here

Light eventually dims

This day was beautiful and flawless

God baptized us that day

Unified

On a Monday in August.
