hold onto our memories like the 25 cent packs of pop rocks at the gas station

you can get 4 for $1 
10 for $2.50 
either way you can take as many packs 
no matter the cost in mind 
you sit on the swing at the elementary playground, watch as the sun goes to rest 


you can take them out as you please, a different flavour or colour as you like 
the moment they hit the top of your tongue you’re reminded 
you feel excitement in your taste buds 
and exploding sweetness 
the crackle of a smile turned laughter
the pop of a kiss once our lips separate 
you remind me of blue raspberry 


irreplaceable moments are like rock candy 
indulging in so many 
in what seems like a short amount of time 
and i’ve been on a sugar high because of you this entire ride
