Wonderful Tonight

"You're wonderful. I'm really glad you're a part of my life."

Yep, I am. And you should be. Cause I am probably one of the more amazing things that you have come across. I do things that seem so small to me but mean much more to you. I say little things that should make you feel good about yourself. I throw those small glances at you when other people are around that just let you know that I am thinking about you. I notice the things that most people don't. That's what makes me special.

But I've got an aching head. And you will too tomorrow and you probably won't remember uttering those words. And in your sobriety you will probably utter words that I care to not hear. You'll say something that will make me wonder why I'm not enough and why I am never enough. I'll get irritated and you'll get anxious. And we'll split off and head in seperate directions.

That's how these things work, right?

"It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."
