Unsweetened Iced Tea

I reminisce, I miss

i was ecstatic when
you told me you liked me
our story started off
as we sipped unsweetened iced tea 

it worked for a while
and things were great!
till the truth came out 
gave you a clean slate 

a couple more 
unsweetened iced teas later
it became clear to me
this wasn’t in our favor 

maybe it was right person wrong time 
love in all its glory 
but it wasn’t meant to be 
and that’s the moral of the story 

now as i drink my 
unsweetened iced tea 
my head replays each moment we shared
as we live happily ever after
in my memory

Interesting read, Emma. Perhaps, if you had continued to drink iced tea together, something more might have developed. Life is strange, isn't it?
