tequila

the smell of tequila

reminds me of the night we met

you showed up late to the party

and carried me home

you took my hand and my heart

with a promise in your pleading eyes

you told me you'd call me

and when you did

i wish you didn't

i could smell the tequila

from across the nightclub

the taste lingered after you left

you were willing to walk across town

just to take me for a ride

picture after picture

you were never worth the hangover

thank god i drink vodka now
