If I act a little strange

Did you read my mind?
I sweat out the thoughts that night.
But our smiles overshadowed
what was really going on.

More than expected.
Reality from thoughts.
Sort of shocked and shy.
I hope you didn’t mind.

Fiery when it counts.
Sweet like an Otter Pop on a hot day.
Careful and without a care.
I hope you didn’t mind.

Light the candles.
They flicker from here until
they meet the horizon.
Ride up and down the streets in awe.
