she asked me tonight
why I’m never sober when I call.
how could I explain to her that
I still need that little bit of liquid courage
every time I want to talk to the only girl
who somehow after three years
still makes me as nervous as
the first time.
It’s 9 PM.
For so long I felt like I did not belong.
And then one day I realized I don’t belong anywhere.
That is, any one place.
For some of us will never settle.
Easily bored by the mundane, we constantly are left searching for those things in life that truly make us feel alive.
