My Popcorn

We sat to eat popcorn
While you were away, a consolation

We sat to eat, but I couldn’t
With every crack, I remembered you

We sat to eat for you, and
Waiting for your turn to eat

I sat to eat hoping you will
Soon sit with me and do the same

I sat to eat hoping you will
Soon sit with me and do the same

I sat to eat so you could eat my popcorn
So you could look at me like I was popcorn

I ate so you could eat too
Hoping you will kiss my popcorn face

I hoped you would touch my popcorn body
And feel my popcorn breath
