I sat by her,
Her eyes stiffened me,
She stared into me
With my thoughts fallen
Under the breath of my alcohol,
I felt awkward,
But the night swayed along,
It didn’t phase a Saturday night
Because I after all am just one person,
One person that sees those I dislike become distant,
Distant from where I’m going, running somewhere else,
But she didn’t care, didn’t mind my voice was jaded,
My thoughts couldn’t embrace it,
And I wanted to touch her as if she was mine,
But her eyes dimmed away,
And now I must wait,
I must wait another morning after.

"Under the breath of my alcohol,"

So you were drunk, right?

No, that line is suppose to emphasize my uneasiness, the awkwardness of the situation...

And now I must wait,
I must wait another morning after"

...and, my soul, does  it not seem we have all been there at one point in our lives?  touching write

waiting and longing.. the worst of all things, I think. A very good poem.

Yes, the worst, sometimes it works out, makes it the best?? The glass half full approach.
