Loving You; One Bite at a Time

loving you in bites, savoring the flavor.
The first taste, so new so much to savor.
That first bit was tantalizing, the forbidden fruit.
It wasn’t all smooth, all tasty, but now that’s moot.
Our love started out a bit salty at first,
An acquired taste; new; exciting; ripe to burst.
It was clumpy and clumsy and strange.
It took new techniques, new ingredients, new range.
As we’ve moved along our love has grown deep.
It’s complex, multi-layered; a flavor to keep.
We’ve added new spices, new ideas and shown
That you don’t have to stay the same; become a clone.
Bite by bite our relationship changes.
Getting stronger as it rearranges
How we think, how we feel, how we sound and what we do.
Loving you, one bite at a time, this feeling is something only a few
Will experience and I’m lucky enough to be feeling it with you.
