Doing

And,
So,
We had,
This,
Conversation.

I don’t drink.

I don’t do drugs.

The morning after,
I will not,
Be able to say,
The booze,
Made me do it,
Say it,
Or,
Whatever.

I will not,
Be able to,
Make the,
Argument;
If I hadn’t,
Been high.

You will know,
The morning after,
That I did,
That I said,
Exactly what,
I intended to.

It was not,
The booze,
The drugs,
The whatever,
Talking,
Acting,
Doing.

And that,
Knowledge,
Changes,
Everything,
For,
Both of us.

Doesn’t it?

Part two.

I don’t do,
Partners who,
Drink,
Use drugs,
Or,
Whatever.

I will not have them,
Say,
The morning after,
That,
If they,
Hadn’t been drunk,
Or,
Drinking,
Or,
High,
Or,
Whatever.

I want them,
In it,
With me,
Because,
They want,
To be,
In it,
With me.

And,
I want them,
To know,
That,
I am in it,
With them,
Because,
I choose,
To be in it,
With them,
That,
I,
Want,
To be in it,
With them.

She,
Turned,
And,
Walked,
Away.
