heart-shaped sour gummies

Your love was like heart-shaped sour gummies.

Beautiful,

but stiff and almost solid,

it was sour to taste,

and you make my lips pucker,

and my eyes squint,

refreshing as it was.

But then,

as I got to know you better,

you started to melt in my mouth,

sugar and syrup sweetness filled my mouth,

and not to mention,

my heart,

you showed yourself,

true and vulnerable,

perhaps even slightly disfigured.

But I think I like you,

sour or sweet,

you are still candy to me,

and really, really sweet.
