I found him in the dark
alley on a lonesome
Wednesday night by the East river
Drinkin beer with his friends from
Forever
the boys who drink out of a
Paper brown bag and smoke parliaments
on their stoop until the night turns to day
And they can’t fill their minds
With liquor anymore, so instead
They take the metro down to work
Well, I felt like in that moment
He was exactly who I needed him to be
He made me feel alive
and electric
And bought me beer
until the bartender said
"no more"
We kissed until
My mouth turned
blue
he never let me out of his sight
cause he knew if he did, I may never return
i laid on him like nothing else mattered
It was only us in the red booth in the back
Of the dive bar
it felt like 1985
He read me poetry
and lit a joint
I said I don’t smoke
But I made an exception
His eyes lit up the entire room
When morning came,
I knew we wouldn’t feel the same
When the sun rises
And the liquor dries
It never feels the
Same
