[Verse 1]
In this verse, Quevedo acknowledges that they both know that it is summer and that they may not see each other again after August. However, he wants to have something to remember when she's gone. He mentions how they accumulate memories every time they kiss. He describes how she pushes him against the wall, staring at each other as if for the last time. He knows that she is studying in the United States and uses it at his convenience. Recognize that you are both afraid of commitment.
