Peace-ing out and aftertaste

Sometimes, when I enjoy eating something, I relish the aftertaste, and the last bite can sometimes leave me determined to preserve that taste. I might want to wait as long as possible to drink or eat anything that may rob me of this souvenir.

I feel like I might be holding on to an aftertaste. I hope I am not compromising the taste of something new and delicious in an attempt to preserve something that might be gone forever.
