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.
