appreciate what you have,
when it's out of your reach and gone with the wind
it'll be too late to get it back
the seed of doubt was planted in the darkest corner
in a moment of impulse
it still has every opportunity to set in roots for growth
all it takes is a reason
it's 2.47am in the morning and my stomach begs to be filled with something, anything. i'm a little glued to "ten items or less", not quite paying my full attention. my mind wanders off between my abdomen, the tv and somewhere else. i think about the strawberries i saw in the fridge the other day, my dad bought a big plastic boxful. they looked juicy and good enough to eat :P now, imagine my surprise when i saw only three succulent ones left. oh screw this, better to have had a taste than to not have it at all. i sprinkle more than enough sugar necessary on them. i mess around, the sugar turns a slight pink from the deep red of the fruit. i take one and sink my teeth into the soft flesh, sweet and a slight sour taste like all strawberries. people who tell you that strawberries are sweet are Pinocchios! it's the sugar that reels that taste in. it's cold and completely rich in flavourrrrrrrrrr. i finish all three in a matter of minutes, too soon. i wish i lingered on each bite just a little longer. in between them i swipe some tinged sugar and licked them off my fingers just because i can taste a little strawberry with quite a lot of sugar. the heads with tiny green leaves sticking out of them look a little lonely without their bodies, but somehow that's okay. being incomplete isn't too bad.
