I’ve been waiting
for ever
for someone
to get you drunk
So I could read
the words on
a screen that I
really needed to
hear from your mouth
The night I knew
you got the alcohol
choked down your throat
I waited up for
these texts from you:
I miss you.
I miss you so much.
I miss seeing you everyday.
I miss waking up next to you.
I can’t stand the idea of being away from you.
I wish I stayed.
But all you will say
the next time you see me
—if you ever want to see me is
“I hope my texts didn’t wake you up”
They didn’t.
