Summer sensations are non transferable. There’s music and fragrances and photographs, all emblems of perfect happiness which appear in summertime which are harder to confront as time passes. The way things were, and how we had wasted time as though there was nothing to do. These memories taste much better when left less rich, less clear.
How I learnt to swim or how I learnt to kiss are all very good stories I’ve forgotten. I did not listen to music the first summer.
