“If you were a mango
I would peel you
Keep you for myself
then reveal you
If you disappeared
I would find you
Treat you like gold
and then mine you
If you were a secret
I would carry you
Between my two lips
and then marry you,
is what I want to say
to the girl
who makes my stomach wobble
and my heart beat
like a drum
but what actually comes
out of my salty mouth is
Would you like some nuts?”
― The Door of No Return
