It made us happy and not sad,
As the boba pearls burst inside my mouth,
I gobbled it down like a being who was greedy and uncouth,
Little flavour bombs of custard,
My brain was flustered,
What was this heaven,
That was taking me right upto midheaven,
The boba bits and I,
Looked eye to eye,
In my tummy you will reside,
So glad I had this before I could die,
Ecstatic that I didn't stop Devyani from placing an order,
Suddenly my mind files opened up in disorder,
Memories of my dead husband slurping down boba pearls flashed past me,
It's crazy how that man never lets me be,
Even on a Friday evening when I was trying to let my hair down,
With my girlfriend, with whom I'd paint the town,
Red, blue, green and every other nonsensical drunk colour,
And that's exactly what we did, until we were far from sober.
