No bitter taste

It's when the bitter aftertaste
of the sweet memory is gone
that you know it's over

It's when the bitter aftertaste
is gone that you can see what was
real and what was make believe.

It's now, when there's no bitter taste left
that I can look at you and think
' Oh my God, you're beautiful',
when I can see you and not pretend.

It's now, when there's no bitter taste left
that I can wish you the best
life has to offer,
without crossing my fingers inside.

Without bitter taste
my eyes will sparkle when I see you,
and I will smile when I remember the good that's you

Without bitter taste,
I'll let you pass like a cloud in the sky
and not feel a dagger in my heart when I whisper the words:
' Never again '
