the day after we parted,
i sat in my favorite spot
at my favorite coffee shop
with my favorite drink in hand,
tears streaming down my cheeks.

and when i consoled myself,
saying you were at the losing end,
i bit into my chocolate tart
and spit it out in disgust.
it was salty after all.

i thought moving on would benefit me in more ways than one. i hate lying to myself.
