Sober

By Purposelessness

When you bring your face
That close to mine
And teach me to thank you
In your language
I am not scared
But I will not remember
Because I was entranced
You were my deity in that moment
Although you brushed off my compliments
You have no idea
What I would sacrifice
Just to feel like that again
Just to feel you again,
Sober
But I am without you
And feeling has long since passed
I am now sober
And I will never be drunk again

    Thanks guys, I always imagine how much more pure these drunken experiences could be when sober. But would they occur at all if all parties were sober?

    Cheers to the 12 steps. I like the idea of saying goodbye to someone special who you had met through bar culture, who you can't be around anymore. I hope someday that person will also be sober and you can bond with them freely once again. Thank you for sharing. :)
