21. hangovers aren't so bad

hangovers aren't so bad
i know this because they haven't stopped my friends
from drinking
​i say this because i want to be drunk one day
i want to go soft in your arms
i want my hair to be everywhere
and we're both laughing
full of punch lines and mouthfuls of each other
​not a single moment
wasted
only the buzz of tension from couch springs
wheezing at our stumbling tongues
we become inarticulate 
but the need to stretch this night is clear
there may not be another again
who knows what the morning will bring
all that sunlight might be bright enough to burn our eyes
that see each other so honestly 
the thunder of migraines might shake us awake
and dry out our mouths so that nothing comes out right
but rain will carry it all away eventually
so we risk it
