Brutally Honest

I’m thirsty
It’s hot
I order a cold, refreshing soda.
I can hardly wait

My tastebuds excited as they wait for the glorious liquid to envelope the inside of my mouth

Anticipating the rush of little bubbles exploding with fervor as they make their way down my throat.

The satisfaction of feeling the cold fluid colliding with my internal thermostat, plunging the reading back to decency 
Refreshing my ever parched and dry soul

Only to swallow a flat, warm soda.

That has been my experience knowing you.
