Original Poem by @thriftygirl365

Loving you is bittersweet

like dark chocolate melting slowly on the tongue

A tenderness that lingers

even when the night feels long

Your name drifts through my thoughts

like smoke in winter air

A warmth I chase, a shadow

I can never quite ensnare

You are the soft ache

in a half-remembered song

A pulse beneath silence

steady and strong

I taste your absence

like salt along the shore

A craving that returns

asking only for more

Your touch is a promise

that trembles but doesn’t break

A spark that glows gently

for longing’s sake

In every heartbeat I hear

your quiet, steady drum

And find myself yearning

for a sweetness that never comes
