I Drink Love

I drink deep the conversations that taste like memories
of staying up all night talking to the one you love
and waking laughing cause you’ll never have clean sheets
I drink my dreams like I drink water I need them to survive
I need to believe that there’s something more
that there’s purpose in my life

I drink my love like I drink wine
I drink my love like I drink wine

Here’s a toast
To all my friends
Who are doing likewise

I’m refreshed by the questions that I’ve always loved to ask
I’m sustained by my daily meditation
and I keep God in my pocket in a 40 centiliter hip flask
I swig politics, and sip on religion
I imbibe plans, futures, hopes and revisions
I savor each flavor like the last kiss goodbye
From the one you never known you loved
Until you said goodbye

I drink my love like I drink wine
I drink my love like I drink wine

Here’s a toast
To all my friends
Who are doing likewise
