Gummy Bears
In the palm of your hand
You held gummy bears
Five of them
Two yellow...
Two green...
...One red
I wanted the red one
Red's the best
Everyone knows that
Even you
Even me
But I didn't ask
You ate the others
Saving the best for last
You put it between your teeth
Leaned over and
Kissed me
I felt it on my tongue
It tasted sweet
You did too
You pulled away
Leaving me with a
Sweet sensation in my mouth
I didn't care about the
Gummy bear anymore
