I love how sweet the first bite of new love tastes, the fresh breath of air you take after. The way it becomes addictive, something you can't see yourself living without.

But it seems that over time,

it becomes sour,

and after each bite

the sweetness just starts to fade

into a bitter aftertaste

that I can no longer stomach. 

It's become rotten and now has to be forgotten, tossed away just as anything that has spoiled over time.
