I Drank to Forget You
I found your shadow in a glass tonight,
Dancing where the candle lost its light.
I told the barman, “Pour until she’s gone,”
He smiled like he’d heard that lie too long.
Your name was hiding underneath my tongue,
Inside the songs we used to leave unsung.
I raised a glass to everything we knew—
And every drink just tasted more like you.
So let the trumpets cry,
Let no one ask me why—
I drank to forget you,
But I remembered more.
Your footsteps in the hallway,
Your hand upon the door.
I drank to forget you,
Till the whole room disappeared—
But when the bottle emptied,
You were still here.
The midnight crowd went home one by one,
The chairs went upside down before the dawn.
The barman swept our memories from the floor,
But yours kept walking through that old café door.
I used to think a heart could drown in wine,
That time and tequila made a clean goodbye.
But some goodbyes don’t leave when lovers do—
They learn to live inside the bones of you.
So let the violins cry,
Tonight I won’t ask why—
I drank to forget you,
But I remembered more.
Your laughter in the kitchen,
Your dress beside the door.
I drank to forget you,
Till I couldn’t feel the years—
But every glass I emptied
Filled my eyes with tears.
Maybe love was never meant to leave.
Maybe loss is what the heart still keeps.
Maybe every man must learn somehow:
What he couldn’t hold then
Can still hold him now.
I drank to forget you,
Now I don’t drink anymore.
I let your memory enter
When it knocks upon my door.
I couldn’t forget you—
And maybe that’s all right.
Some loves don’t need forever
To last a lifetime.
So here’s to what we couldn’t do…
I drank to forget you—
And remembered you.
