GREEN APPLES

Hey—

Boy with the backpack,

Whatcha hiding there?

⸻

White shirt,

cap turned backwards,

Looking way too confident—

That made me nervous.

Bus stop staring,

smirk on your face,

I already knew

you’d disturb my peace.

You asked my name—

I disappeared quick,

Jumped off the bus

like a magic trick.

⸻

But every day

there you’d be…

Walking around

with your ridiculous dreams.

⸻

Green apples falling from the sky—

Boy ran so fast that he forgot to fly!

Hey! Hey!

Fruit all over the street—

Hey! Hey!

Love looked kinda sweet!

Green apples rolling everywhere—

You looked up like:

“Girl, do you care?”

Oops—

That’s the moment

I started falling too.

⸻

La-la-la-la lucky…

La-la-la-la clumsy…

La-la-la-la kiss me…

Boy, you’re kinda funny!

⸻

You waited hours

by the bus stop sign,

Meanwhile your apples

were slowly dying.

You planned speeches,

you practiced cool,

But destiny said:

“Make this man a fool.”

Then BOOM—

dosso attack!

Fruit explosion

from your backpack!

⸻

I tried hard

not to laugh…

But your stupid little smile

broke me in half.

⸻

Green apples falling from the sky—

Boy ran so fast that he forgot to fly!

Hey! Hey!

Heartbeats in the street—

Hey! Hey!

Love looked kinda sweet!

Green apples rolling everywhere—

You looked up like:

“Girl, do you care?”

Oops—

That’s the moment

I started falling too.

⸻

“You ignored me!”

“You scared me!”

“You loved me.”

“…maybe slightly.”

“You were a snob.”

“You were annoying.”

“You still kissed me.”

“…okay good point.”

(laugh)

⸻

Green apples everywhere tonight—

Funny how chaos can feel so right!

Hey! Hey!

Look what love can do—

Hey! Hey!

Now I’m stuck with you!

Green apples,

one kiss later—

Now we turned

forever into flavor.

⸻

One apple…

Two apples…

Three apples…

Oops.

I married the backpack boy.
