Types of People: My Favorite Songs in Lover

Cruel Summer “what doesn’t kill me makes me want you more” vines crawling up a gate, rosebushes, a cool breeze, a loose bun, walking barefoot on grass, the clear night sky, picnics in the dark, wanting something forbidden

It’s Nice to Have a Friend “school bell rings, walk me home, sidewalk chalk, covered in snow” passing notes in class, plaid skirts, ties, sleepovers, fairy lights, trading secrets under the covers, pinky promises, secret languages, seeing each other grow

Daylight “step into the daylight, and let it go” waking up at sunrise, golden bobby pins, white turtlenecks, a bowl full of jewelry, neatly organized closet, ornate daggers, full eyelashes, finding peace after chaos

Afterglow “I’m the one who burned us down, and it’s not what I meant” ashes in your hands, the metro at midnight, tear tracks down your cheeks, messy buns, dark eye circles, rewriting a text fifty times, wondering how you lost something so good

Death by a Thousand Cuts “I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright they say ‘I don’t know’” lights turning on at a club, crying in heels, drinking in your bathtub, ripped up lingerie, choppy hair cuts, impulsive tattoos, pretending you’ve gotten over it

Types of People: Seasons

Spring:

cherry blossoms, jumping in puddles, sun showers, dewdrops on plants, early-morning runs, iced lattes, wishing on a dandelion, constantly reinventing themselves

Summer:

fireworks by the lake, red solo cups, music on full blast, sneaking out through your window, skinny dipping, sugar stained lips, living for the moment

Fall:

Black coats and turtleneck sweaters, studying in a cafe, antique books piled high, ancient cathedrals, poetry scrawled in the margins, pushing themselves to do better

Winter:

catching a snowflake on your tongue, evergreen forests, icicles on the cabin porch, flushed cheeks, hot drink on a cold day, seeing the beauty in small things

Types of People: The Rainbow

Red

Wine-stained lips. Hair up, heels clicking. Dim-lit restaurants, twelve-course tasting menus. Manicured nails tapping the table. Smoldering eyes. Keeps too many secrets.

Orange

Faded bumper stickers. Road trips. Music festivals and body paint. Beat-up converse, faded jeans, band tees. Golden hour and glowing sunsets. Filling their emptiness with laughter.

Yellow

Soft hoodies and messy buns. Perfectly golden blueberry muffins. Wire-rim glasses. Soft quilts. Making friendship bracelets. Waking up at noon. Wanting to keep the world soft.

Green

Vines creeping up the side of a cathedral. Equations scrawled on a chalkboard. Succulents in glass bottles lining the windowsill. Constantly working to prove themselves.

Blue

Watching the rain through a window. Stargazing on rooftops. Late-night study sessions. Wind in your hair. The ocean, after dark. Dreaming of an escape, by air or by sea.

Purple

Electricity. The thump of music. Shots in a perfect line. Miniskirts and tube tops. Lined eyes and sticky lips. Drunken confessions. Dancing the night away. Trying to find oblivion.
