ur the lemon 🍋 pepper girl

You are peppery, fiery

the singing weather surrounds your milky, rightfully angry eyes, brown like beautiful earth

wait, I’ll try to come quick

Look up, you’ll see the clouds twist up

Look down, you’ll see the rain in a bit of a tiny puddle

Wait, just a bit longer,

Lemon pepper girl

Unless you have the sun,

Then take it

And keep it

Because that’s all I wanted for you,

Lemon pepper girl,

Milky Moon Eyes, yes that one is about you too,

There was a surrounding wall between the window of our love,

It sounded like painful red scorching sun dripping on the river,

Drying it up so crumbled,

It read all of Lemon’s cries on the sand,

But couldn’t caress the peppery tears,

No matter how much

The moon kept saying to look up,

Look up, darling,

And wait a bit more.
