~ One Glass or Two ~
You were too thirsty to wait for love
You took it too fast, too far,
Moments like these are meant to last, and brew
When one glass would do, you had two
Love can't be hurried, it can't be acquired
It must simmer, and be admired
Like a fine wine, the longer in vats, the more robust
The more it's desired, the more you lust
Seems to me you ran with your own mind
before it was ever time
Now you sit and ponder what went wrong
When there was nothing to wonder
The bottle you were under,
you thought you were strong
When all along I was gone
Slowly sip, instead of gulp,
would have brought you that tasty love
