Writing's Second Taste

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect." -Anaïs Nin

It was a reflection of what he looked like when he asked me out. That somewhat cheesy narration of what their kiss felt like? It was the same way I felt when he first pressed his lips against mine.

If only I can do it again. If only I can fall in love with writing again. If only I can fall in love again.
