The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

DO YOU STILL BELIEVE IN LOVE?

The past  
Is a weight I carry
A heavy bundle on my back
Dragging me down with every step.  

I remember—  
How I gave her everything
Only for her to squander it all
Leaving me to crumble, to fall.  

Do I still believe in love?  
After I reached beyond myself
Proving the depth of my heart
Only for you to tear it apart.  

Yet, yes—  
I still believe in love.  
Like the sun, though I set each day
I rise again, unwavering in my way.  
And with time, no matter how far I run 
I’ll find my way back to love, to you, once more.
