You asked me to pour my heart out.

I poured my heart into a glass,
An intense cocktail of bittersweet feelings
Set on fire.
I knew it was not everyone’s cup of tea.

As I saw its flame reflect in your eyes
And not a hint of hesitation,
I watched you bring the glass to your lips
And gulp it down with the sweetest
Of smile.

And when we kissed,
Fireworks.
