i tasted you.

"I tasted you
during the bitter sips
of break up alcohol
or the complimentary dining
of high end business parties
I tasted you
in someone else’s kisses
and in between awkward
conversations
I tasted you when my tears
trickle down to my mouth
and I tasted you when I no
longer had the will to eat

I tasted you whenever I tried
to move on
or when I’m alone in my room
trying to keep certain things
off my mind
I tasted you at 9am and 5pm and 1am the
next day
or when I bite my lips when making
a life decision

It just so happens
that everything I do
I find you there too
Whether sweet or bitter
I miss the taste of you”
