She wiped away the tear
with the back of her hand.
She knew it's taste all too well now
She knew it was bittersweet.
She had never felt like this before.
Gone was the control
Over her hardened heart.
He had made her feel things anew.
She could not ignore
The way her chest tightened
At the mere mention of his name.
Her breath caught in her throat
When he came to mind.
But it was all so bittersweet.
She could never have him,
Other than stolen moments
And whispered words.
And even knowing this ...
She would not stop longing,
To taste the bittersweet
