• to the boy that buys gum three times a day only to see me

To the boy that buys gum three times a day only to see me:

you are lovely,

But you are driving all the way to this supermarket only to receive a hello from a girl whose hands are more claws than skin.

When your eyes meet mine I see your thoughts and the way they tell you we are meant to be,

I got hired by destiny and not by my boss, and the first time you saw me you weren't here to buy coke but to meet the love of your life.

When in truth the love of your life does not lay inside my clothes,

the love of your life does not go home in my car.

And the love of my life,

does not come to this supermarket three times a day.

Everytime my hand touches yours, you accept the coins like they are pieces of my heart. Your fingers shiver and you cheeks match strawberries and I-

I'm more of a forbidden apple type of girl.

When you drink your coffee at the supermarket's door waiting for me I'm wishing I didn't have to see you because that would mean I could be doing anything but working, but-

you are

beautiful

and your eyes shine like lighthouses waiting for my boat to dock in your arms

when my boat

has sink long ago.
