Once I loved a boy when I was young
But he compared me to bubble gum
I was so hurt that he did compare
My kisses to something filled with air
He meant it as an insult, for he’d moved on
While I just wondered what went wrong
I watched him kiss his new girlfriend
And knew in my heart that was the end
I listened as he compared her to a spicy treat
Hot to hold and I was just “sweet”
Years passed and we became friends again
Laughing often of things that happened then
And in the mail the other day
I got a little surprise my way
In a package tied with a bow
Wouldn’t you somehow just know
There were little squares wrapped inside
And laughter that I couldn’t hide
As I read the note that said “sweet’s more fun”
And I popped in a piece of bubble gum!  

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

What a delightfully refreshing sweet treat! Loved this playful write about love/lost/maybe regained?
Lots of people prefer bubblegum to hot sauce.
