Ice Cream Flavors

We were an ice cream parlor

Lips the color of raspberry sorbet

I stared into cotton candy froyo eyes

Chocolate peanut butter locks cascading over caramel ears

I've never met someone quite so sweet

With hands smooth as buttermilk, we stood in lemon zest lighting

Your bangs covered your shy French vanilla smile as you stared down at my strawberry sandals

We made pinkie promises over pistachios and tied them together with cherry stems

Tongues red as velvet while we shouted summer over rainbow sherbet

With cookie dough on our fingertips we lined the streets in sidewalk chalk

Our knees coated in every flavor

From coffee to watermelon and everything in between

The holes in my bubblegum pink jeans turned into pockets for your neapolitan palms

That great mango globe turned our skin maple

Singing summer against the blue moon skies, we vowed over apple pie never to forget

Printed it on every lobe of our brain freeze

I read the story over in mint chocolate chip font every black cherry night

So the pineapple gold days don't fade
