Soda

I adore that we got read cream soda

Because you love it so much.

It still surprises me each time

How I just melt at your touch.

Your embrace, your face, your many a gaze

My heart can't pull away

And often neither my eyes.

My eyes your cries from perfectionism pries

Because I see countless tries and tries.

Calm.

Remember.

I'm here.

Hold on to faith and don't let fear

Pull you from hope, from love, from care

For others because you know with your heart you'll succeed.

Not just but exceed.

Just like you've done so with me.

Expectations exceeded in many a way.

And our entire relationship with expectations it plays.

And still I remember your gaze.

Your embrace.

The one I melt under like no other.

And I'll always cherish red cream soda(er). ;)
