Countdown Before Christmas
Just like the countdown before Christmas
I’ve experienced these things a hundred times
15, 14, 13, 12, 11,
Giddy bubbles rise through my stomach
at the thought of a movie I’ve seen twice before.
My legs tremble as I walk
the same path I take to school each morning.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
Always counting down to moments of bliss.
A thousand flavours in the market,
but all I want to taste is you.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
And then it starts all over again.
