Beloved


I.                                                                                                                                           II.

I remembered plain oatmeal cookies                                   I remember plain oatmeal cookies

I loved fluffy, tiny marshmallows                                         I dislike fluffy, messy marshmallows

I hated creamy fettuccini alfredo                                               I love creamy fettuccini alfredo

 

I remembered brunette, brown-eyed boys                               I love brunette, brown-eyed men

I loved blonde, blue-eyed boys                                               I dislike blonde, blue-eyed boys

I hated silver heart-shaped charms                             I remember silver heart-shaped charms

 

I remembered bitter silver knives                                                I remember bitter silver knives

I loved Yu-Gi-Oh! and Bionicle novels                                                I love Artemis Fowl novels

I hated brunette, brown-eyed boys                                     I dislike brunette, brown-eyed boys

 

I remembered chaste, slobbery kisses                                I remember lonely, weepy mothers

I loved laughing, grinning mothers                                          I love laughing, grinning mothers

I hated glaring, screaming fathers                                         I dislike lonely, simpering fathers

 

                                                                                                     I remember soft, hot hands

                                                                                          I remember Gators and Seminoles

                                                                                                    I love Panthers and Sabers
