Taste Of Freedom

Late night regrets

I wish I could say I didn't know you,

I didn't hug you,

I didn't laugh with you,

I didn't love you.

I wish I could forget the way your eyes looked at me and the way you made me feel,

The stars you made me see and the fire you lit in me.

And yet I can't say that at all,

Because just like the random lady today in the park, that told me she loved my bag,

You left an imprint on me that seems to haunt my brain and heart.

The truth is we're never rid of someone completely because all the things we love about them we make them parts of ourselves.

We find ourselves eating our mother's favorite meal and listening to our father's music.

We find ourselves laughing the way our best friend does

And just like that,

I hate that I find myself loving exactly like you used to love.
