the alcohol pulses through my blood
blurring my vision, slurring my words
and blocking you from creeping into view
it's been almost a year since we rekindled again
a year since we met for that coffee
and walking across sidewalks with sunsets to guide us
talked about love and our lives
you asked my commitment
i swore yours forever
and you kissed my lips so softly
you took my hand, with tears in your eyes
and you were mine again.
but now one year later
since that warm July day
your voice is a rarity, preciously treasured
your smell has faded from your old sweaters
and forever was just out of our grasp
our lives and hearts crossed dreams once upon a time
but now all that's left
is a faded old photograph
of you kissing my cheek
and my smile was stretched from ear to ear
and i've never been happier
now the vodka is stinging
the tequila is kicking
another night i avoid the truth
can't stand that you're gone
so i'll drink 'till my eyes shut
and sleep to a dream of you.
