When I think of my best friend

I think of Lemons.

I promise it's a compliment

just hear me out.

When I first met them,

they were sour.

Maybe they weren't in season,

maybe it was just at first taste

their tartness made me want

to find another citrus

that didn't make my lips pucker

and my eyes water.

But after the initial sour wore off,

I could taste a little bit of

sweetness that made it all worth it.

So instead of running,

I paired them up with myself.

Because when you add lemon to recipes

it adds more flavor

and makes the dishes better.

When you add lemon

it enhances everything else.

And that is exactly what they did.
