Dear California Navel Orange,

Why did we have to travel so far to meet?

I saw you at the supermarket

And knew you were the one

Different continent

Same love 

Your sticker says it all

We are one of the same

Products of the USA

Keen to get away

Capital of drama

Always in the news

Let's pretend we're not American

Hollywood, go away

You know how I feel

About Australian Produce

I wish they all
Could be California orange juice

So now we're here

10,000 miles from home

Yet suddenly

It's near

As close to us now

As you are to me

Yesterday a place

Today a feeling

I can't help but smile

To think it was you all along

Peel in trash

Pulp in me

I ponder again

Calling out in desperation

Attempting to ask you

Instead asking myself:

Why did we have to travel so far to meet?

It doesn't matter anymore

Gone

Like the passing of now
You're gone before it's even realized

We are all gone

Lovers can die too
