I never knew lemons could be so sweet, so kind and tender

I always expected their scent to drive me away

I was addicted to the chase

Never tasting the calm of the storm

This is until I met the river that flowed a bit too gently.

The river that roared when I went astray, roasting me over the summer hues.

I was happy for a time

I was his

Now I can never sleep, the nightmare of my reality awaits me by sunrise

I have to eat even though my mouth only waters for him

I want to go outside and seek him, yet I bring him no joy

I wish I learned to love

Maybe he would still be mine
