when I’m this drunk
and you’re a thousand
miles away
I miss the plenary version of you
everything that you are
and all that I perceive you to be
why aren’t you here with me
I want to stop giving up
I want to just do it
I want to love you completely
with all that I am
and with no reservations
because when you’re
a thousand miles away
I know that the daily
irritations and influences
that detract from our
utter (what an ugly word) and complete
devotion to one another are
just that
distraction and irritations
the insecurities and the self-defeating
effects of life are nothing
when I have this much whiskey in me
I know that my love for you
is real
more real than Paris for Helen
more significant than
Romeo for Juliet
I love you as I love the
heart and lungs
in my own breast
without you I am bereft of a
vital *****
necessary for life
for existence
when I am this drunk
I don’t make sense
but I know
more truly than I know my name
that you are
essential
and that I love you
always
