Until Then When I Become Sober.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

there is nothing to explain
do not say a word, it is obvious.
i like you and there is nothing
i can do about it.To an extent,
i even said i love you, i remember
it, and forgive me, i was drunk,

yes, i was drunk with love, and
there is nothing i can do about
this. Forgive me, i will love you,
and think of you, and there is
nothing you can do about it.

neither can i, drunk in love,
and would dare be reasonable when
drunk with love and lots of love.

i am writing this down, until then
when i become sober.
