LOVE POTION:

- water from the pacific ocean
- crushed honeysuckle
- fistful of cherry pulp
- strawberry seeds
- vial of rose water 
- sprig of mint
- orange zest
- sea salt

1) the ocean knows more about him than you do.
2) the honeysuckle is added color, almost as
     bright as he was.
3) cherry is always (always) the taste of love.
4) there’s still a part of you that loves strawberries.
     there’s still a part of you that loves him.
5) he’s got roses etched into his arms.
     you know the significance.
6) mint is good for healing.
     good for forgiveness.
     good for beginnings.
7) citrus is a reminder that love can’t be sweet
     all of the time.
8) he tastes like sea salt and sunlight.

leave it under the sun.
watch it bloom into new colors.
hope it doesn’t curdle.
