An Ode to an Old Summer Love* explores the intense, fleeting nature of a summer romance. It highlights how summer love offers a break from routine, inviting spontaneity, emotional depth, and unfulfilled desires. The connection is passionate and full of longing, but ultimately temporary, like the season itself. Despite its impermanence, the memories linger, leaving a lingering question: “Have we met before?”—a reflection on the lasting impact of such a profound, though short-lived, experience.
