A metaphorical new love

I met you back in March

I had met you before but we never really got along

You were sweet, then dry

but you somehow left me wanting more

My friend introduced us

& at first I was hesitant

But when you touched my lips

I felt the connection

I wanted more

I needed more

We started to experiment

Sometimes good, a few times bad

I started to crave you

I told my friends about you

That’s when I knew it was real

You have helped me feel better when I have felt down

& you have helped me cry tears when the world needed me too

You have never judged me even when I am judging myself

You are always there even when you shouldn’t be

You help the anger go away

& hold my metaphorical hand

& you are with me while I write this

You are gin.
