19 (Almost 20)

Undeniable draw with a

taste for the taboo,

my world is sparkling

all over, all over.

And he is all over me,

warm weight and bad jokes

and I just can't stop laughing.

The world is my oyster

but sometimes I clam up,

so afraid of how strong

all my emotions are.

But I'm not scared long,

or I'm scared and I'm smiling,

because it feels so good to

look into his eyes.

I'll wade in the waters

in a big pink pool tube

laughing at the riptide as

I'm carried away, I'm carried away,

I'm always getting carried away.

Dip my toes in the gold for a moment,

leaving twenty little prints in

the wake of my day.
