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
