i am powerfully attracted to strong coffee, strong whiskey and strong women and so far strong coffee has never hurt me although i may drown myself in it, to stay up thru the night to face the morning without her because trying to sleep is stupid and trying to get over it is bad advice so what's to do? when the person i'd ask asks for space? could i be the strong one resilient, resolved? remembering some mysteries will never be solved so make me a strong one with whiskey and black and i will be waiting when that woman comes back -- douglas brent smith (c) 2016
