Candy apple

For my birthday for as long as I can remember I would get myself a candy apple Something I always wanted Remember being happy everytime I got one Never got what I wanted Every gift was something my twin would like So I started getting myself things Including a candy apple It started at age 18 When I spent my birthday away from family in another state All I got from my aunt was jeans and a box of chocolates I love her she's like a second mom But it wasn't something I liked... I went out for a walk in the town I loved the lights and being surrounded by ppl Never felt alone and the lights just made it bright I end up in front of a candy store Seeing the candy apples being made The person smiles at me Invites me in I go in and the smell hits me I smile I watch as he puts one up And that's when it hit me I'm here I have some $ It's something I want It's my birthday I'm getting it I ask for one candy apple please He smiles ask why I'm alone while he packs it in the box I smile it's my birthday and my family is in another state probably celebrating my twin sister I always wanted a gift for me He looked sad but I just smiled Candy apples always made me smile He gave me the box and said happy birthday I hope this becomes a tradition for you every year to come I'm now turning 26 I may not be in the same state anymore when I was 18 But I still get a candy apple on my birthday I hope the man is doing well And that one day I can thank him for starting my tradition A candy apple on my birthday 🍎
