All these years I’ve told the world

That cherry is my favorite,

And all these years

I thought I didn’t lie.

But today I caught a whiff

Of strawberries

And remembered.

It was a strawberry pie I had as a kid

That I loved so much.

And all these years

I’ve searched to recreate

The burst of happiness in my mouth,

And come away dissatisfied,

And wondered what life was all about.

But today I caught a scent in the air

Of strawberries,

And I remember.
