I pretend I am not sober. I tell you how you are the catalyst of my happiness. I ask you to pretend this never happened. You cannot. I understand. You say I should look for more people who make me feel this way: They’re good for your health. I want to say I can’t; I say I’ll try. Shouldn’t have even mentioned platonic love. (That’s not what this is.) Shouldn’t have lied to you like that.

This Has Happened Before / This Will Happen Again
I pretend I am not sober. I tell you how you are the catalyst of my happiness. I ask you to pretend this never happened. You cannot. I understand. You say I should look for more people who make me feel this way: They’re good for your health. I want to say I can’t; I say I’ll try. Shouldn’t have even mentioned platonic love.
