Caramels

Sugar. You make me crave, all the sweets and delights that I never find in your kisses late at night. Sugar. I deny to myself, every time I write to you and you don't even say my name. Sugar. I need it as if I am in withdrawal, from all the sweet fantasies that will never be real. Sugar, Sugar, Sugar... I say it as if I pray, but then I always go back for more of your bitter taste!

Ha, ha! Saccharin is a substitute for sugar; sugar, a substitute for love. Nice insight! :) Gershon

Mmm caramel! I have more or less given up sugar, but have developed a slight addiction to salted caramel chocolate coconut frozen desert ;), Enjoyed this! xomo
