My newest vice...

Ode to Diet Coke

You were the best,
I was devoted so true.
Over the years,
my love for you grew.

In the morning,
you were always there.
Ice cold in the fridge,
ready to share.

We were so close,
your points I did keep.
I followed you around,
as if a lost sheep.

Since moving up North,
it's just not the same.
For some odd reason,
you began tasting lame.

I tried to keep going,
but something wasn't right.
Then came a new friend,
so I tried it one night.

In parts of the country,
it's quite the high-stepper.
But now in your place,
we drink Dr. Pepper.



Why do I feel as though I'm cheating on my soda...
