Girls Who Chew Bubble Gum

Pastel nails
In baby blue and
Cotton candy
Lips
I think I'm in love with you
Bad attitude while you
Stand on one hip
And roll your heel around
I wanna call you "Darlin'" while
You chew your bubble gum

Fake black lashes
And black wing liner
Stand out against blushed cheeks
And eyes wide like
The hole you see through me
You're my favorite kinda girl
Bright pink and yellow
You wear shabby chic
Pastel
So well while
You chew your bubble gum

Oversized purses
Empty like your sharp smile
You wear when waiting in line
All alone
I see your eyes wander
And long nails tapping your phone
With the glitter case in gold
Rippling waves in curly hair when you
Rake those carousel nails through it
With slow grace
And blossom sticky bubbles on those lips
With the bright matte lipstick
While
You chew your bubble gum

You make me think of county fairs
And I wanna win teddy bears
For you
And feel the rolling hills of your spine
Where your shirt dips down
Like waterfalls and falling stars
(and my stomach when
Words stretch across your tongue)
Smokey eyes and glitter on lids
Like the girl I thought I wanted to be
But right now I just wanna call you "Baby"
While you chew your bubble gum
