I liked our food

We needed it to survive because without it we thought we’d die

It was bittersweet sometimes

Other times it was just sweet

And sometimes it was really nasty

We could swallow the food

Hold it down even if it was nasty

Keep it under wraps and put it in the fridge because we wanted to save some for later

And sometimes we’d just throw it out because we had decided we were done with it

Our love was like that food

There was only one problem

We couldn’t throw it away so easily

No matter how hard I tried to get rid of it, the feeling of our love still lingered

Our love was just too sweet

It was so sweet I can still taste the tanginess of it on my tongue

But it was also spicy

Our love had a spice that took over the sweetness of it

It began to have that bittersweet taste

And eventually we got tired of that taste

It had gotten so bad we started to get cavities

Cavities that would leave us wounded for a very long time

We’d both decided that taste needed to be let go

So we started from scratch once again

New recipe, new taste

Possibly even sweeter
