Aftertaste (Bittersweet)

Part 1

By Ria Published 5 years ago 1 min read

You left a bittersweet aftertaste on lips

A fuzzy feeling in my brain

My heart a mess

And an ache between my thighs.

I try not to linger on the bittersweet memories of you

When I do, I miss you more than I wish to

The ache grows, the confusion spreads and my heart pounds…

I can hardly remember the taste of your tongue on mine

Or the way your lips caressed my own

The ache in my chest…

The serene peace I felt around you…

The nervousness I felt when you hovered in front of my face…

I can remember distinctly the way my heart pounded.

The ache in my chest grows more than I want

The confusion in my head clouds my vision

I miss your lips on mine

Your hand on mine

Arms around my waist

But yet I know I could never get that back.

The ghost of an ache that is reminiscent of you between my thighs

The prominent mess that is my heart

The confused cloudiness of my mind

And the bittersweet taste of you that still lingers on my lips…

None of it is what you want,

You had your taste and now I am stuck with the pit in my stomach wishing I had given you my all

But that wouldn’t have been fair to anyone…

On days like this,

I can distinctly remember the way your hands would move along my imperfect bodice

The way you would ask for reassurance before continuing

The way our lips danced together…

I can remember the fuzziness in my brain

The pounding of my heart

The way my brain was going a mile a minute but not moving an inch

All at once

The taste of your tongue on mine…

I hate that I miss you…

As if the bittersweet aftertaste of you wasn't enough...
