Tasting The Memory Of You

Tasting the memory of you...

feels like wild horses running through my mind

Some bitter sweet, like the root of a dandelion

yet still has the sweetness of the flower

that brings its golden beauty on a warm summer’s day  

Our love…

was not always a happy ending fairy tale

Sometimes it felt sad, angry and bitter

like the pungent taste of lemon on my tongue

Other times it felt sweet and loving

like a craving for raspberries

that grow so tender on their vine

But now…

you have gone to Heaven

and I’m left all alone

with these bitter sweet memories of you

that lay on my tongue…

forever in my mind

still longing for the savory, sweet, raspberry taste of you

But also remembering…

 the pungent, sour taste of lemon on my tongue

And...

always remembering

just how much I still love and miss you

~

Our Last Embrace

This is so wise, my friend. The things we find sour when someone is with us often become sweet when they are not and we wish to savor it again when it is gone. How often we find this to be a truth when it is too late. Very well written. I very much appreciated the sentiment.
