We Belong Together

 

I sit here softly getting drunk

with my soulmate in silence

as rickie lee sings most melodically

‘we belong to gether’

 

and I know she refers to the

destiny of this night

like last night and the night before

‘its more trouble than its worth’

 

and the wine taste better tonight

than the night before on a sadder day

and in this silent comfort

‘you and I are the only ones’

 

and I have all these ambitions

floating like madness above my head

I search fanatic eyes wondering, looking

‘yeah we’re living it up’

‘yeah we’re living it up’

 

and the pages go past

flicking fingers, licking away the trips

and the far away places

‘tell me where you are’

 

and I will surely come.
