the first time we made homemade candy it was a disaster, 

you said that it was too sweet and it gave you a cavity.

blaming me when the drill was taking out the rotten parts,

just so I would hold your hand.

you cursed at me and the dentist just cause it made you feel better.

I felt so guilty I threw away all of my sugars.

so when I looked into the cupboard and seen your secret stash of canes,

I broke all the pieces of gritty sweetness on the kitchen floor.

So you lied about that too? 

barefoot I walk  all over your natural sweetness, craving to hold your hand again.
