She offered me a mocktail
In a glass, her hand, strangling its neck -
with grape juice, and ginger ale,
painting the hues of a melted sunset.
She crushed a bunch of mint leaves,
and drawned them in the crimson froth,
the mintt leaves died,
leaving a scent,
lingering in the air of her subtle sighs.

Yet, she added spicy seasonings,
Her peppery tongue cracking  jarring jokes,
her glances beat
the faint acidity,
added to the drink with lemon-lime shots.
I took the mocktail,
And clinked my glass,
With hers;  a merry sound echoed.
"Happy for you "
She exclaimed,
as I swallowed her gingery words.

Thus ended
Our friendship's mock-tale,
the second I told her
I was to wed her past lover.
