Bubblegum




Popped into the corner store,

to grab a drink

Innocent pack of bubblegum,

lying on the counter

Bringing back teenage fantasies


English classes and bubbles,

that made your mouth water

Longing stares that went unnoticed,

probably for the best

Wouldn't have been good, if it got out


So you just watch those bubbles burst,

between lips, you dream of kissing

Even though you already have a pair, to do that to

Glossed fruit just isn't the same,

It's bubblegum you want to taste


You take a pack to go

Try to remember your thoughts,

From all those years ago

Watching those bubbles burst and blow

Wondering how long it will take,

for the taste to go
