The Whiskey Magic

After all of this time
It came out of nowhere
An awfully big step
That left me happy
And fearful.

I don’t want to lose you
That’s what I know for sure
But I feel you slipping away
And I don’t know what to do.

I want to make clear
For me, it’s not a one-time thing
It was better than I could’ve hoped
And in no way just a fling

I told you I’d wait
But what am I waiting for?
You and me
Talking about feelings?
Some long conversation?
With drama and screaming?!

Why would I want something like that?
To hear words not ready to be spoken?
Promises and commitments
In a future that hasn’t yet broken?

All I want is just you and me
The way we’ve always been.
On the phone or in a room
With or without Mr. Jameson as a friend!

I told you we can’t go back
But it doesn’t mean we forget
Staying friends is what matters
The most important step!

You know that I don’t know
What I’m talking about
All I have to give you
Is what I’m thinking right now

It’s just me
A phone call away
To talk about my writing
Or maybe pill-popping Mr. Leary

I don’t want to be taking advice
From my well-meaning friends
(who are on your side, I might add!)
I want to hear your voice
And know that we’re okay.

You know I don’t beg
Not for anything or anybody
So I’m laying this out for you
In hopes that you’ll hear me

Whatever is going to happen
That I don’t know
But what I don’t want – more than anything –
Is to lose you now.
