Why do you insist on buying me the Skittles
when they just cascade from the red bag
like swollen buttons?
And the small Hi-C Orange drink
that is so large I won't get through half of it?
You got right with the bracelet;

I wear it every day like I'll die without it –
But food that I have no chance to finish?
The Skittles wrapper just became a souvenir that you were here.

Boys will always insist on paying for whatever food or Skittles (candy) you want when you go to the movies with them. You may not understand why they want to pay, but...just let them<3
