sadness invites you to taste him and you swallow him whole instead "this is what happens when you get greedy," he says as he leaves you in the dust there is an aching in your chest long after he is gone and you realize just what he meant after his lips ghosted yours you will always remember how he touched you; you are not sure that you ever want to forget
