Dark Chocolate

It melts in my mouth like a sweet song to my heart, filling me with comfort to soothe any sorrows. Its bittersweet richness dances across my taste buds and relaxes my mind. I can think of nothing apart from the deliciousness that I’m experiencing, that brief moment of bliss I have been granted at the end of a long day. I love chocolate, and when it’s dark, it’s at its absolute best. To possess a bar of this kind means more to me than just having a treat...it provides the perfect companion to a good book or my favourite song, and releases the small worries that have plagued me throughout the day.

I don’t feel guilty about eating too much dark chocolate anymore, because I’ve heard it has health benefits. It’s also the one sweet that I could never live without. I’m constantly discovering new varieties of it and my love grows even more. I use it as a reward for hard work, but I also allow myself to bring it out when I’m feeling really low.

Dear dark chocolate, I want to thank you for introducing yourself into my universe. Milk chocolate is wonderful as well, but you brought my chocolate experience to a whole new level, even winning out over my second love, peanut butter cups. Thanks for the making the bad days better, if only for a minute or two, and for calling out to me and reminding me you are always there waiting. I will never tire of your wondrous delights.
