Every "first" is sweet,

Every "last" is bitter.

Though Life may contain

Many "firsts"

And many "lasts,"

Those "in-betweens"

That outnumber what is left,

Are forgotten

And put to rest

Without another thought,

Or passing glance…

This must be stopped,

For Life contains

Many "firsts"

And many "lasts,"

But the far more abundant

"in-betweens"

Are only a blur

When looked back upon.

Life is filled with the

"in-betweens,"

The Bittersweet.
