you can keep this smelling fresh of
strawberries, blueberries, whatever-you-wish-berries
chocolate covered apples, sugar-coated sweetness
assorted candies with caramel side dishes
or maybe a gift with a bow
pink in colour to show you remembered—she’ll say:
“that’s so sweet!”
and you’ll be rewarded with
dark chocolate, white chocolate, whatever-you-wish-chocolate
give her a card, a coin, a baby’s sweetness
something to remember you by
a swear of secrecy that means everything—she’ll say:
“isn’t he sweet?”

but can you keep a secret sweet
or will you turn it sour to match?
