Nathan and The Peach

by

Crystal Dawn Allen

-They don't taste bad, but they don't taste good,
do you know what i mean?
he said.

-Then why do you insist on eating peaches if they don't taste good?
I said.

-They don't taste BAD,
he said.

-They don't taste GOOD,
I said.

-But they are soft,
so very soft and juicy,
like the sweetest kiss,
he said.

I thought,
we don't kiss for the taste,
but for the kiss itself.

The things that had left a bad taste in my mouth before,
I decided to try again.
