The thing about being mildly allergic
to something is that you can have a taste
as long as you have your medicine and
you know you're breaking point.

Me, I have a mild allergy to alcohol,
when I drink those that has more than 5%,
I get rashes and when I drink even harder spirit,
my heart palpitates.

But that doesn't mean I don't drink.

I just got home from a party
and I cannot count how many
beer glasses,
tequila,
*****,
marguerita shots
I had
and yes, there's rashes on my thigh
and my heart beats faster than it should
but I had fun and alcohol tastes
less worse with people you consider
as family by choice.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that
I hope I have a mild allergy to you,
that I know my limits,
that I know when to stop.

Because I am willing to have a taste
and I know you're not good for me
but I was never good with stopping
what I started and I'm afraid I might
have too much of you,

you will be left empty,
like those bottles we returned to the store.
