Shall we change our nights?

That’s the beer for a toast speech to happy memories,

There go our palms swaying like a feather,

Our laughs wishing this night remains forever,

And our bodies grooving with the song of midnight.

That’s the vodka that binds us together,

And I am thankful for magic of liquor and spirits

That at least those fuel me to be with the stranger.

Cheers to the stranger I meet during my drunk episodes

You are the toast – the game master and the game changer.

You are the tears of my grief and melancholies,

You are the beers I crave and drink when I’m lonely.

You are story I keep on telling during my tipsy nights,

You are the wine – shall you be with me on every rite?

You are the song – be that slow or hyped, I will always dance into.

You are the rum that keeps my mundane self, alive.

I am grateful for the fairylike times with whiskeys and you,

Yet also you are the stranger that leaves me when I’m sober.

I just wish things do not reset on the crack of dawn

Or the sweets and laughs do not fade as the spirit does.

I hope we can be together without vodkas and beers

Or I wish still we can have this with coffees and teas,

Day after day – even without the spirits and sweets.

Please do not be the stranger that fades in the sunlight

For even though I want you when I’m drunk,

Still I want and need you the most when I’m not.
