Sage

The smell of sage reminds me of you.
It reminds me of him too.
You're both Aquarius's
but you're my favorite one.
We were in the right place
at the wrong time.
The flip side of my Leo sun.
My opposite, my puzzle piece.

It was amazing when it was good
but the feeling in the back of my mind never left me.
Something was off.
In the midst of our chemistry,
I had failed to remember the nature of the puzzle piece.
Which is that each piece has at least two sides.
You were never meant to be the only one for my eyes.
That might make you sad, but I need freedom.
