64. Sweetbitter Anniversary

Sweet because of our intimate experience.
Bitter because it was a warning.

Sweet because it was out of love.
Bitter because it was painful.

Sweet because you reminded me that you care and are always watching out for me.
Bitter because I realized I didn't appreciate your care.

Sweet because you've never left me since the day we fell in love.
Bitter because I often left you.

Bitter because I failed you.
Bitter because I was unfaithful.
Bitter because I didn't keep my end of the commitment.

But...

Oh, so sweet, so very sweet, because you are greeting me yet again... with open arms.

It's been two years, and today is a Sweetbitter Anniversary where the sweet overpowers the bitter.
