Drunken Truth Time
It's calm and mellow and the air is warm.
The music is perfect, even though I don't know it and can't sing along.
Everyone is doing their own thing, but doing it together, and that too is perfect.
I'm watching you draw my brother, posed on the couch.
Your hands pull flesh and blood out of paper and pastel,
while mine try to put sight and sound into words, and end up with just words.
I hate how we're still close, but will never be that close again.
I miss the play of light on your face and the snow as it swirls around your head.
I miss telling each-other everything.
I miss kissing you and knowing it's welcome.
And I worry that I'm starting to sound like the monster you were running from when this all began.
Don't let me.
p.s. I've been replaced and after 3 years it hurts more than anything in the world. But I guess I deserved it. Congratulations G. I hope you have fun with it.
