my favourite drink is no longer fanta lemon

i loved
the citrusy smell
and the tang of the lemon
the bubbles from the fizz

but it isn't my favourite anymore

i take a sip
and i don't feel anything

it doesn't remind me of that one summer five years ago
or the touch of fresh cut grass on my bare feet
i don't feel the soft burn from the blazing sun
i don't hear my friends laughter echoing around me

i taste bitter lemons
and there isn't a comforting citrus smell any more
it doesn't fizz like it used to

i don't like fanta lemon anymore
