This is for Paige. I love Paige. Paige you couldn't have a mean bone in your body, even if you tried. You are such a great fangirl and friend, you kinda make Caesar's Palace for me, the place wouldn't shine half as bright without you. This is a gadge, and I know you ship it gurl, I hope this does it justice. Enjoy being sixteen!


Strawberry lips

Long summer days

Running my hands through her hair

Flashes of blonde in the sun,

She's not just a townie

She's so much more.

I thought she was quiet

Had nothing to say,

She was like the capitol

We were just the entertainment

But she has to play the game too,

And she plays it well.

Strawberry lips

Drawing me in

Asking her questions

Without any words,

Who do I love?

She's always there

And she smiles so sweetly

Strawberry lips

Tugging at the corners,

Though she doesn't have much to smile about.

Her father doesn't approve

But she sneaks out anyway,

She listens

She cares

She told me she loves me

But how do I feel?

The girl with the strawberries,

Or the girl on fire

But I've already lost her

So why do I cling on?

She won't stay away

Burned into my head

But those strawberry lips

Can sometimes take the pain away.

Ranting and raving

Laughing and crying

Drenched in rain and we don't even care

She's here

She's now

So maybe Katniss will fade

Because I have a new favourite memory,

Not hunting in the woods

It's those strawberry lips

And a not so hidden smile.

When her mother gets worse

She knocks at my door,

Who can she turn to?

I tell her she has me,

And she does.

Strawberry lips

Come ever closer

I crash into them with my own

And I don't want to part.

Never.

To my surprise

They don't taste of strawberries

They taste of sunshine

And heaven,

And something else

I can't explain,

Something so beautiful

It's hard to name,

A bit like love.
