That Taste by J.J. Campbell

those sweet
lips

all the years i
have dreamed
of that taste

the pain of
knowing i’ve
never crossed
your mind

the romantic
in me wants
to keep my
dreams

the old soul
dying in me
wants to kill
those dreams

watching you
walk away

you’ll probably
beat both of
them to the
punch
