Bittersweet


You were like my love for coffee 

that I picked late in life

I loved the sweetness, 

but it came at some cost 


After denial came acceptance

of the fact that I cannot take you

with your innate bitterness.

So, I had no choice but to let go.


But that I still love coffee 

is also undeniable. 

As is with you.

So, I won't mind bearing you,

with ‘a pinch of’ sugar, 

which is just occasionally.


Certainly, now the wrestling

in my mind is settled.

Can I call this closure?

If yes, it did take a while…

Peace, now!
