Food Lover

I’m dining on memories,
Snacking on snippets of conversation,
Gobbling stolen glimpses,
Eating up everything I remember
Of you as you were.

I loved the you I remember;
I only like who you are now.
You no longer give enough of yourself
For me to feel a stronger emotion,
So I close my eyes and feed.

Now;

I’m masticating moments,
Sipping on surreptitious sidelong glances,
Chewing on the bones we shared;
Licking juices of times gone
And wishing we still cooked
Like we did back then.
