Summer Holiday

The car park was packed tight like sardines

I remember wondering if this was good idea

The sun was beating down on our backs

I remember the smiles on our faces

The waves crashed over our heads

I remember wiping the salt from my eyes

The jetty was covered in barnacles

I remember flying before splashing deep into the ocean

The sand was burning my feet

I remember running on the tip of my toes

The car was like an oven with stale air

I remember gasping and fumbling with the fan

The look we gave each other

I remember laughing until we cried
