Whiskey Kisses
I take a sip from my water bottle
Liquid courage
The vodka doesn't burn anymore
I let my fears dissolve
Dizziness and slurred words replace them
I feel light and warm
I can pretend people want me
Pretend I'm not being judged
The voices all stop
We kiss.
Our alcohol-fueled romance
Slurred 'I love you's and clumsy touches
It keeps me together
It fills the void
It's not real love
But our whiskey kisses are enough

A beautiful sadness here. I love the way you have described those alcoholic romances, and how much emphasis we put on those experiences.
Thank you for the read.
