The punch line? Reality.

2 puffy cheeks filled with laughter
1 joke of second grade proportions
2 people in and out of love
1 attempt at normalcy
2 classes not worth attending
1 shade of indescribable red

And 2 octaves of joy
Echoing across the boring walls
Of a tidy bathroom

A rare portrait of tender moments
That encourage forever
To be more than a promise ring
Or 17-year-old fantasy
