You tell me I'm drunk then you sit back and smug a while convinced that
you're
right, that you're still in command of your senses. I laugh at your
superior
attitude, your insincere platitudes will make me throw up. The sooner
you realise
I'm perfectly happy if I'm left to decide the company I choose.
