SWEET TOOTH

 

I have a picture of you

Which speaks to me,

Speaks in sugary tones

And syrupy words

Of things I liked to hear

When we were both young

But my tastes have changed

A sweet tooth no longer

My palate more mature

More sophisticated

A little less exciting maybe

But you can’t be sixteen forever

But I will always keep

That picture of you

Which speaks to me

In sugary tones

And syrupy words

Just to remind me of the time

When I had a sweet tooth
