Sandbox Love

She was my sandbox love, When we were just kids The one I dared to eat dirt My hero, when she did My enemy, when she said Your turn now and I double dog dare You eat some dirt And that dead worm over there She wore pink tennis shoes, And her hair in pigtails We were dreamers with wings living life on a dare My sandbox love and I Testing our limits, Running wild and free Little girls play dress up, Boys just destroy things She’d say, I am Princess, You are a Prince I had a smile on my face Thinking of my sweet revenge The next day I’ll be a firey dragon, she’ll be a witch, that I’ll eat end There in the sandbox, we gave our spit pledges Promising each other, our love would last forever Her family moved away and I’d not seen her since But I honor my pledge each day I reminisce My sandbox love, you - I’ll never forget
