the thirtieth candy
for this Monday
checked a lot off my list.
it was happy that I got to taste
something sweet
as the world was just
the opposite.

I didn't ever long for
hopping off this cloud
love placed me in.

as it melted in my mouth,
I swallowed a tinge of pain.
my mindset became neutral,

but I didn't hop off
the cotton candy skies

for it was where I belonged.
and everything felt themed
by him and me.

so I took the beauty in
as they still say,
don't rush,
don't rush, don't rush,
don't rush, don't rush,
don't rush, DON'T RUSH,
DON'T RUSH, DON'T RUSH.
