My Adventures in Tea pt.8

WILD SWEET ORANGE*

We were both young when I first sipped you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there in the kitchen
Still cold from the winter air.

I see the leaves in the tea bag
I see you make your way through my lips-
You greet my tongue, little did I know...

That you were like an orange tree you were growing fruit
And the FDA said "stay away from pesticides"-
And as the cup grew empty I was-
begging you, "Please don't go..."
And I said...

Wild Sweet Orange take me somewhere,
Where you don’t run out
I'll be waiting at the local Starbucks
You'll be the tea and I'll be the connoisseur ,
It's a poem story, Sweet Orange, just say yes.

‘Cause we were both young when I first sipped you.

*A slight Taylor Swift rip off.
