Watermelon is a love story;

with its green exterior —

fresh and new to the experience

and pink to the point of blushing

red from awkward, humbling,

and embarrassing feelings.

Watermelon is a love story;

refreshing and sweet —

cooling hydration,

not overly rich

but tantalizingly sugary.

Watermelon is a love story;

that I thirst for and satiates.
