Drinking Hot Tea Through A Plastic Straw

Spending time with you
Is not unlike
Drinking hot tea
Through a plastic straw
The more I try
The more likely it becomes
That I will succeed
In finding the sugar
At the bottom
Of the mug
And the deeper I go
The sweeter it tastes
Which is why I like to use a straw
To get straight to what lies beneath
Spending time with you
Is something I love doing
But an art that requires practice
And in this sense
It’s just like
Drinking hot tea
Through a plastic straw
The more I try
The more likely it becomes
That I will succeed
In finding the sugar
At the bottom
Of the mug
In time
I hope that I can consume
Every last drop.

One of the few 'proper' poems I've read on the internet. Very cohesive structure rather than the garbled quasi-diary entries that people often post. Pretty as peach too. Well down.
