he promises her that one day,
they'll go to Mars.
To the country that they'll claim
as their own.
just the two of them.
they ride the tallest rollercoaster,
and she can hide under his arm
if she gets scared.
and afterwards,
he'll tell her what the view was like.
how you could touch the stars
from that high,
and how it felt like you
were flying.
even if the view
wasn't so special,
he'd paint it pretty
just for her.
They'd fill up on junk food.
oreos, ice cream, and pizza.
cotton candy ice cream for her,
rocky road for him.
cookies n cream they'd eat together
There would be
lakes of lemonade
to swim in.
pleny of lemonade
for her to drink
and get high and happy on
something sweet
sweet like her
every night he'd kiss her
goodnight
and tell her
just how beautiful
and special
she is.
and she'd believe him.
and they'd be happy.
no one could touch them,
they'd be a new constellation.
the brightest in the sky.
there'd be plenty of pandas
on mars
red pandas and normal ones
all pets for her.
she wouldn't have to cut her hair
because it would have a life of its own
so she wouldn't sit on it
and it would never tangle.
he'd make her laugh
by just saying
baloney.
and no one else
but him
and her
would be allowed on mars
their country of Habibi.
she wouldn't have to worry
about him
and he wouldn't have to worry
about her
because everything would be okay.
(and did I mention there would
be a lot of lemonade?)
This won't make sense to any of you except the other member of Mars. So ha, yeah, sorry not sorry. It's not even a poem, but I felt like writing it.
