Caramel Tongue and Candy Apple Cheeks

The words are sticky in my mouth
Caramel flavored hopes that are soon to be swallowed
pulling at my teeth
clogging my throat

You come closer
your scent is overwhelming
melting the stickiness until it is flowing warmly over the back of my throat
but my lips are still stuck together

My mind is working overtime
as to not to spit out these embarrassing chewed up thoughts
I am still trying to swallow
but they are coming back up

Oh god you're getting closer
brown orbs filled to the brim with dark chocolate
my eyes are now glued to yours
like they are the last thing left to hold on to
as I fall off this cliff

And in to your lips I suppose
considering they are now on mine
maybe my brain is still working on overload because I'm just standing here
unsure and about to pass out
because I just realized

Your lips are on mine

And now it's just bliss
our eyes are closed and I need something to hold on to
I grab on to your shoulders
but then it's over

you're pulling away and I am chewing on caramel again
only this time I don't want to speak
so you should go first

Unless you have already told me what you need to say
and I wasn't listening properly
too lost in the lollipop sweetness that was your mouth

I am lost in thought now
probably staring at you like I have cotton candy for brains
but I probably do since my mind is so sweet for you

Oh god, do you see what you're doing to me
that was the corniest thing I ever thought
but that's not the problem right now

No, the problem is that my cheeks look like candy apples
and you are smirking at me because I look speechless
which I am but I won't say anything just to back up that theory

So now I'll kiss you again
and hope that you like the taste of caramel too
