Chocolate wrappers in coffee mugs


"Nobody can make you feel small" you said Sitting on my right leg Chocolate wrappers in coffee mugs On a couch, it feels like Christmas Though no one here celebrate And I made you read the last poem I chuckled "That's the dumbest...no second dumbest thing you ever said" You said "Don't give those eyes, they precipitate" Then you started kissing me When you were halfway out the door I asked you to say something nice You said, "I love you"
