Chocolate

Well I never planned to meet her
I was an unfinished puzzle before I'd see her
But the day I did was almost certainly perhaps page one
I barely had my emo phase done
Watching sunsets while listening to depressing tracks
And lowly singing while holding teardrops back
It was a holy sight the day I was selling chocolates and got lost beneath the night
Somehow unlucky and lucky at the same time
Because she had a sweet tooth and those candies were conveniently mine
She answered the door with hopeful brown eyes and a cheerful bounce
And I liked her so much I gave her a few chocolates on the house
I embedded that baby blue house's address in my brain
Because after that interaction I could never be the same
Like when an artist realizes it's a passion and they'll be poor, it can drive you quite insane
I returned to that baby blue heaven to visit my angel's stay
And when she answered I swear I heard the trumpets play
Until she asked why I was there and I had no idea what to say
I told her I had more sweets free of charge but I had eaten them on the way
And that was not ok
She began to cry and pleaded at me why?
Feeling shy, I ran for talking to pretty girls was one of my fears
So I left my love in tears
Until an hour later in an attempt to cheer her up
I returned to her sniffling and offered Reese's peanut butter cups
A very rocky start
Like when a barber first cuts hair and messes up the part
The next chapter flows like water
We fall in love and plan to have a daughter
And name her Jerry, Jerrydelli
A name that rolls off the tongue and satisfies the belly
Oh what a feat
To feel so complete
I had someone to watch sunsets with
And share a Hershey's chocolate kiss
She loved me even though I'm daft
And we had those conversations that one really wants to have
How life is such a maze
How she wants her soul to feel how chocolate tastes
How some dolls totally have an unnecessarily realistic face
And I wish that is where the tale would end
A boy who looks for love and finds a best friend
Well this is how it goes
Her parents are from someplace else and need to return home
Soon she will be far
But for now we share one last snicker's bar
So bittersweet it could kill a diabetic
And that was when she said it
"My life has never been more lively
I hope one day you will come and find me"
That feeling was so electric it could fit inside a socket
And I'm  so thankful for every bite of chocolate
