*10 ሰዓት conversations*

Him: ...And of course it is a shame to drink when there is nothing to celebrate
but it is better than drinking alone.
So life gave you lemons too?
Sit down.
Let's drink about it.

Me: Let's drink the bitterness,
swim in the sadness we own
and when people find us in the morning, if ever they do...let them think we 'accidentally' drowned.

Him: Like that fish who forgot where he belonged,
like that fish who woke up one day and decided to breathe.
So life gave you lemons too?
Do you too feel like the world is nothing but a dark alley we are tying to run from?
Like the world is a home we've never known?

Me: So life gave you lemons too?
Come on, let's make a juice out of it,
with a little bit of flavor,
using all the life we have left in us.
And of course it's a shame to drink when there's nothing to celebrate
so let's be morbid and celebrate death,
to the me and you that died a long time ago
to bits of our soul that never got buried.

Him: If we drink enough maybe we'll gulp a seed or two,
perhaps we could father a tree if we're stomped on enough,
perhaps life is just dying a little everyday.
Don't shy away.
Let's drink our fill.

Do you remember your childhood dreams or do your nightmares stand out?
Which one hurts more?
To drink or to remember?

So life broke your spine with a fruit?
She broke my heart.
Whatever the case we were wise to come to a bar,
to lift the bottle is a strength not many know.
Let's weigh our fruit,
let's see who gives
let's lay here for a while
in an abandoned inn.

Me: Where our souls stay cold.
Forgotten.
Neglected.
But tonight we won't address any of our sorrows, instead we drink them
those lemons life threw at us?
Come on let's squeeze the life out of them.

Come my darling.
Let's celebrate you.
Let's celebrate me.
Let's drink life's lemon juice
and let's drown accidentally.
