I staggered
in a drunken haze
along the corridors
of Duxton.
Stumbling
from one bar
to another.
Downing another beer
Lighting another ciggy.
Anything
Just to numb
the pain
a little.
The Filipino whores
asked me to buy
them a drink
in exchange
for some company.
Its not the same.
I just want you
by my side baby.
I miss you so much.
I can't make it
by myself.
I want you so much.
I wallowed another song
in my misery.
Somehow as I stared
at the lyrics,
I thought I saw
your gaze
in the corner
of my eyes.
I was drunk.
I floundered
into the street.
The moon shone
at my face,
I wondered
if the moon
at Sukabumi
is shining upon
your pretty face.
I lurched
into an empty taxi
and said Simei St 4
knowing so well
that I will be
coming home
to our empty house
sleeping alone
on our empty bed
I just want you
by my side baby.
I miss you so much.
I can't make it
by myself.
I want you so much.
