I Was Just An Apple

When they met, by a rare chance
I was just an apple, sweet green

When they started seeing each other
I knew right away that I’ve a future 

When they kissed, passionately
I began to bloom, like a red rose 

When their erotic desires grew
I was raised, from a deep sleep

When they spoke about love’s sensuality 
I became aware, of the things around me

When their black hair turned silver gray 
I was already well prepared for tomorrow

When they went to their bed, separately
I’d built, theirs a pattern, my own bed

When they sent me their warmest regards
I was holding my own apple, sweet green
