Addiction

Another drink is not what I need
  It is you.

I do not need to forget or remember
  I need your touch.

The burn of knowing that without you,
  Nothing will be the same

The taste of your lips brushing mine,
  The feel of your hot breath against my tongue.

To consume you is what I want,
  But all I have is this drink.
