Slip

Tonight I almost watched myself slip.

The drinks were poured. The girls were ready.

I did not stop me. It was you.

I close my eyes and think of you. 

Your eyes. Your smile.

And there is no need to resist, because there is no temptation.

That life has nothing for me.

In my mind I am with you.

Reading.

Sharing coffee.

Laughing.

Somehow even 700 miles away you managed to save my night.

I don’t know if there is a God… or I would thank him for letting me know you.

But instead, everyday I will try and thank you the only way I know how.

By being what ever you need me to be.
