I've been drinking more since you left.
It hasn't gotten dangerous yet,
But it's hard for me to know that limit.

You've been drinking more, too,
But in the company of others,
In the company of friends.

I've been drinking alone, mostly.
Two shots or so just before bed.
From the bottle, so I don't ***** a glass.

I wonder if I'm forming a habit.
I wonder when that habit becomes dependency.
I wonder when dependency becomes addiction.

I promised I'd still be here when you got back,
But we haven't spoken in weeks.
I'm not so sure I can keep my word.
