Talking Outloud

There is a half glass of red wine
On the table next to your red chair
I don't know where you are but you are not far.

I want to let you know
I am giving up beer
For a time, for my weight, for you.

We will outlast this cold winter
Like we outlasted the last one
We are tough that way, we are enough.

Tomorrow we will get out of bed
Like we always do, like we always will
And do those things we have to do.
