Cotton Candy Tears

I quiver as I spill my cotton candy tears,
about the sweetest moments in my 15 years.
 
Melting so steadily
those memories pass by…
but at least I got the chance to say goodbye.
 
Sulking now with an empty brown bag;
one heart
once more
begins to ask,
 
will you love me when I’m old and grey,
when I’m not the girl I am today?
Will you hold me when
I lay in a hospital bed?
Will you dance with me
in worn leather shoes,
your cheeks still red?
Will you reply with more than you eyes
when I think to myself,
Imagine how lonely I’d be without you.
