After Taste

i told you everything
and you listened
i told you things
that seemed almost impossible
to say aloud; do to the bad after taste
of regrets and insecurities.

words poured out
unwilling to stop
as every thought that
came to my mind
fumbled out of my
untrustworthy mouth.

an 'i love you' slipped out
and yours eyes widened
and my eyes widened too,
then eyes met eyes,
hands grasped hands,
and lips grazed lips.
