A Glass of wine

I offer up a glass of wine to you...

First for the quick taste it inspires, then for the easy way it plays in my mouth, how it easily slides down, and finally to the nerve endings awaken after just a few sips

Yes, I offer up this glass of wine to you, for those memories that are slowly dissolving in the past and  more often than not are inviting me to forget all those levels we climbed, and results of previous glasses shared.

I drink this glass of wine, over here, without so much as a sideways glance you,
and notice not how ours eyes would meet as we slip, but rather how savory and full the taste is in my mouth.

I notice how much less I drink, and those raw nerves are still affected, but now with refences to the moon shining throught my shades, or how the warmth it brings warms me from the inside out.... You are here, but fading.

I offer this glass of wine to me.....
