Sugar Coating®


The yellow and orange candies have always been my favorite,

the only ones I've ever liked, actually.

So when I was sharing the sweet candies with my love,

I gave him the yellow and orange ones, naturally.

Thinking they were the best.

Instead of eating them, he asked me:

"Can I have some of the good ones?"

And I guess it goes to show how you can give someone

"a good one"

"a best"

even "a whole heart"

that means nothing to them.
