Peppermint Girl
Amrita Gupta
Chilly and sharp
Bitter yet sweet
That’s what I want
A Peppermint Girl
Glowing when tarnished
Glittery eyes
Hugs me so tightly
Always sincere
Her happiness steals me
Her sadness commands me
Forever I stand by
My Peppermint Girl
Her smile’s contagious
She pulls me beside her
I gladly will follow
My beautiful adventurer
As I’m writing my life
She rips out pages
And adds in her own
Both of us smiling
Everlastingly pure
Rosy and wintery
Always I’m loved
Like there’s nothing but us
Warm to the touch
Wonderful sweetness
Baroque and simple
Flamboyant and flowery
When she’s unhappy
I listen to her
She openly cries
Teaches me to do the same
My lovely, my darling
My wonderful world
Her kisses are icy and warm
All at once
So imperfect she’s perfect
Perfect for me, all mine
So, so in love with
My Peppermint Girl
Forever I’m loyal
Forever I’ll love her
Grateful to chance
That she feels the same way
Nothing without her
No color without her
That’s how I love her
My Peppermint Girl
