“But why don’t you drink?”


I don’t drink, my secret love
For fear of what I’ll say

For fear that I’ll release the gates
And tell you that I’m gay

And tell you that for four long years
I’ve loved you from afar

That long afar, miles and miles
The miles between our one shared desk

The reason I don’t drink, my love?
I’m scared to make the jump

Scared of how you might react
Scared that you’ll say NO!

Long-distance love is best I think
To save us both the pain

So in every dream, I say the reply
“I love you”………… the end
